The electrochemical leaf enables the electrification and control of multi-enzyme cascades by exploiting two discoveries: (i) the ability to electrify the photosynthetic enzyme ferredoxin NADP + reductase (FNR), driving it to catalyse the interconversion of NADP + /NADPH whilst it is entrapped in a highly porous, metal oxide electrode, and (ii) the evidence that additional enzymes can be co-entrapped in the electrode pores where, through one NADP(H)-dependent enzyme, extended cascades can be driven by electrical connection to FNR, via NADP(H) recycling. By changing a critical active-site tyrosine to serine, FNR's exclusivity for NADP(H) is swapped for unphosphorylated NAD(H). Here we present an electrochemical study of this variant FNR, and show that in addition to the intended inversion of cofactor preference, this change to the active site has altered FNR's tuning of the flavin reduction potential, making it less reductive. Exploiting the ability to monitor the variant's activity with NADP(H) as a function of potential has revealed a trapped intermediate state, relieved only by applying a negative overpotential, which allows catalysis to proceed. Inhibition by NADP + (very tightly bound) with respect to NAD(H) turnover was also revealed and interestingly, this inhibition changes depending on the applied potential. These findings are of critical importance for future exploitation of the electrochemical leaf. |
