INSPIRE: Robust Biocatalysis for Energy Solutions(2)

酶是一系列能量循环反应的高选择性和高效催化剂，包括氢气的产生和氧化以及二氧化碳和一氧化碳的相互转化。然而，现有的电化学控制酶催化的策略并没有很好地转移到设备开发中，这主要是由于蛋白质本身的不稳定以及它们附着在电极表面上。因此，我们将这一进程的每个组成部分的创新想法和专业知识结合在一起，为能源技术的强健生物催化系统的开发创造了一步的变革。

Enzymes are highly selective and efficient catalysts for a range of energy cycling reactions, including H2 production and oxidation and the interconversion of CO2 and CO. However, existing strategies for controlling enzyme catalysis electrochemically have not transferred well to device development, largely due to instability of the proteins themselves and of their attachment to electrode surfaces. We therefore bring together innovative ideas and expertise in each building block of this process, to create a step change in the development of robust biocatalytic systems for energy technologies.
