Abstract

Redox biocatalysis is a promising approach to carry out redox reactions in industry. The chemical nature of redox reactions requires a stoichiometric supply of redox equivalents. The outstanding class of enzymes “Oxidoreductases” require specific redox equivalents for their function. We envision more environmentally friendly sources for these redox equivalents, in order to promote the application of various sorts of oxidoreductases.
