Application


  • Development of a Highly Selective NAD(+) -Dependent Glyceraldehyde Dehydrogenase and its Application in Minimal Cell-Free Enzyme Cascades: This research presents the development of an NAD+-dependent enzyme crucial for bioindustrial applications, demonstrating its utility in enzyme cascades for biosynthesis processes, which could enhance the efficiency of biotechnological production systems (DOI: 10.1002/css).

General description

We are committed to bringing you Greener Alternative Products that adhere to one or more of the 12 Principles of Green Chemistry. Beta-Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide is a bio-derived redox cofactor that works together with enzymes as part of a biocatalyst system. It can be efficiently recycled in many reactions, enabling selective oxidations while reducing waste and supporting greener, more sustainable chemical processes. Click here for more information.
