Abstract: | The conjugated redox reaction was driven across the electron transfer membrane prepared from a urethane prepolymer to carry positive charge, where NADP+ as electron transfer carrier was adsorbed in the prepared polyurethane membrane. Glutathione reductase NAD (P)H: oxidized-glutathione oxidoreductase (EC 1.6.4.1)] was used as the catalyst for production of the reduced form of glutathione (GSH) from the oxidized form (GSSG) in the objective reaction, and methyl viologen (MV) was used for the electrochemical regeneration of NADPH in the subreaction. The conjugated redox reaction in the separated reactions system, using the three-compartment cell with two membranes, was successful without MV contamination. Under the given conditions, the conversion ratio of GSH from GSSG reached 50% after 4 h of incubation at 30°C and the amount of GSH accumulated was 0.5 μmol ml−1 of reaction mixture. |
