Leveraging liquid-liquid phase separation and volume modulation to regulate the enzymatic activity of formate dehydrogenase
Biophysical Chemistry(2024)
摘要
Engineering of reaction media is an exciting alternative for modulating kinetic properties of biocatalytic re-actions. We addressed the combined effect of an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) and high hydrostatic pressure on the kinetics of the Candida boidinii formate dehydrogenase-catalyzed oxidation of formate to CO2. Pressuri-zation was found to lead to an increase of the binding affinity (decrease of KM, respectively) and a decrease of the turnover number, kcat. The experimental approach was supported using thermodynamic modeling with the electrolyte Perturbed-Chain Statistical Associating Fluid Theory (ePC-SAFT) equation of state to predict the liquid-liquid phase separation and the molecular crowding effect of the ATPS on the kinetic properties. The ePC-SAFT was able to quantitatively predict the KM-values of the substrate in both phases at 1 bar as well as up to a pressure of 1000 bar. The framework presented enables significant advances in bioprocess engineering, including the design of processes with significantly fewer experiments and trial-and-error approaches.
