Abstract
Bioelectrochemistry is a well-established and reliable tool for analytical purposes, such as for the determination of glucose concentration in the blood of diabetes patients or in various other biosensors. The combination of electrochemistry and enzymology can also be used for the synthesis of chiral compounds catalysed by oxidoreductases. In this case, electrons instead of chemical compounds serve as redox equivalents for enzymatic redox reactions. This review will present the state of research for electroenzymatic syntheses and identify the advantages and drawbacks of this method.
