This project investigates the potential of a specific enzyme family to harness light energy for chemical reactions. By exploring and optimizing the photochemical capabilities of Glucose Methanol oxidoreductases, it aims to develop new photocatalysts for sustainable organic synthesis applications.
Photoenzymes are rare biocatalysts that use the energy contained in photons to perform chemical reactions.
To date, only one natural photocatalyst is known to have biotechnological applications; the Fatty Acid Photodecarboxylase (FAP), allowing the production of hydrocarbons from fatty acids. FAP belongs to a superfamily of enzymes called Glucose Methanol oxidoreductases (GMCox).
Still, the FAP group is the only one known to perform photochemistry despite the high degree of structural similarity…
