Rücktitelbild: Enzymatic Electrosynthesis of Glycine from CO2 and NH3 (Angew. Chem. 14/2023)

Abstract

An enzymatic electrocatalytic system was developed to allow the simultaneous conversion of CO2 and NH3 for glycine synthesis, as reported by Zhiguang Zhu et al. in their Research Article (DOI: 10.1002/ange.202218387). This system was inspired by the reductive glycine pathway in vivo and based on the in vitro multienzymatic cascade reaction, representing a novel alternative of the enzymatic CO2 electroreduction for synthesizing nitrogenous value-added chemicals.
