It is possible to drive the reduction of NAD+ with the reduced form of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FADH2) despite the very unfavourable thermodynamic data. The equilibrium is reversed by means of an electrochemical thin-layer method which enables a high concentration of FADH2 to be reached. The reduction occurs only in the presence of a formate dehydrogenase of Pseudomonas oxalaticus which catalyses the reaction. The maximum rate of enzymatic reaction and the Michaelis constant of FAD are evaluated. The same enzyme is able to catalyse the oxidation of NADH by FAD. The indirect amperometric detection of NADH at a potential as low as - 0.3 V (vs. SCE) can therefore be envisaged under anaerobic conditions. The possibility of catalysing the two-way reaction using the same compounds, simply by modifying the electrode potential, is emphasized.
