METHOD FOR REGENERATING COFACTORS USING HYDROGEN-TERMINATED SILICON NANOWIRES AND METHOD OF BIOCATALYZED ARTIFICIAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS USING THE SAME

摘要

PURPOSE: An artificial photosynthesis method using hydrogen-terminated silicone nanowires is provided to produce a raw material for a novel drug and eco-friendly fine chemicals such as an optical isomer. CONSTITUTION: A method for optically regenerating cofactors comprises the steps of: adding hydrogen-terminated silicone nanowires to a regeneration solution; and irradiating the mixture solution by light. The regeneration solution contains: oxidative cofactors selected among NAD^+, NADP^+, FAD^+, and FMN^+; an electron donor; and an electron transfer mediator. An artificial photosynthesis method using the hydrogen-terminated silicone nanowires comprise the steps of: adding the hydrogen-terminated silicone nanowires to the regeneration solution; irradiating the mixture solution by light to optically regenerate cofactors; and preparing a useful material generated by oxidoreductase reaction using the regenerated cofactors.
