Popis: Here we report a new robust nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate cofactor analog (carba‐NADP+) and its acceptance by many enzymes in the class of oxidoreductases. Replacing one ribose oxygen with a methylene group of the natural NADP+ was found to enhance stability dramatically. Decomposition experiments at moderate and high temperatures with the cofactors showed a drastic increase in half‐life time at elevated temperatures since it significantly disfavors hydrolysis of the pyridinium‐N−glycoside bond. Overall, more than 27 different oxidoreductases were successfully tested, and a thorough analytical characterization and comparison is given. The cofactor carba‐NADP+ opens up the field of redox‐biocatalysis under harsh conditions.
A robust cofactor analog (carba‐NADP+) is described here with a 33‐times longer half‐life time when the cofactor is heated up to 50 °C. Decomposition experiments on the reduced form at low pH values showed a drastic increase in stability. The cofactor is found to make a significant contribution to the field of redox‐biocatalysis under harsh conditions retaining most of its enzymatic activity.
