Abstract

The kinetic properties of the conversion of CO₂ to formic acid with formate dehydrogenase (FDH) using dithionite-reduced methylviologen as an artificial coenzyme were studied. The catalytic production of CO₂ from formic acid by FDH was suppressed using methylviologen as an artificial coenzyme. In contrast, compared to the natural coenzyme NADH, dithionite-reduced methylviologen was a more effective coenzyme in the conversion of CO₂ to formic acid with FDH.
