Electrocatalysis of CO<sub>2</sub> Reduction by Immobilized Formate Dehydrogenase without a Metal Redox Center
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent formate dehydrogenase from Candida boidinii was immobilized in a 1,2-dimyristoyl- sn -glycero-3-phosphocholine/cholesterol floating lipid bilayer on the gold surface as a biocatalyst for electrochemical CO 2 reduction. We report that, in contrast to common belief, the enzyme can catalyze the electrochemical reduction of CO 2 to formate without the cofactor protonated nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. The electrochemical data indicate that the enzyme-catalyzed reduction of CO 2 is diffusion-controlled and is a reversible reaction. The orientation and conformation of the enzyme were investigated by surface-enhanced infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy. The α-helix of the enzyme adopts an orientation nearly parallel to the surface, bringing its active center close to the gold surface. This orientation allows direct electron transfer between CO 2 and the gold electrode. The results in this paper provide a new method for the development of enzymatic electrocatalysts for CO 2 reduction.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
