New insights into enzymatic CO₂ reduction using protein film electrochemistry

Thesis

Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) is known to catalyze CO oxidation and CO₂ reduction reversibly with the minimal overpotential. A great advantage of protein film electrochemistry (PFE) is its ability to probe catalysis over a wide range of potentials, especially in the low potential region required for CO₂ reduction. CODH I and CODH II from Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans(Ch) and the composite enzyme acetyl-CoA synthase/carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (ACS/CODH) from Moore...
