Artificial cofactor regeneration with an iron(III)porphyrin as NADH-oxidase mimic in the enzymatic oxidation of l-glutamate to α-ketoglutarate

- [Fe(III)TSPP]Cl used as “artificial NADH-oxidase” for enzymatic amino acid oxidation.
- l-Glutamate dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation gives 88% of α-ketoglutarate.
- Increased volumetric productivity of (3.95 g/(L d)) compared to literature data achieved.
