Fusion Enzymes: Innovating Biocatalysis

Fusion enzymes represent a powerful innovation in biocatalysis, combining multiple enzymatic functions into a single, efficient catalyst. One such example is the fusion which merges phosphite dehydrogenase (PTDH) with Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenase (BVMO).

Advantages of Fusion Enzymes:

• Only one catalyst is required, simplifying the reaction setup.
• Soluble expression of tricky enzymes can be improved by a more soluble N-terminal fusion partner.
• Thermostability may be enhanced through a thermostable fusion partner.
• Increased efficiency in mass transfer due to closer proximity of cofactor-producing and cofactor-using enzymes.
