Furancarboxylic acids are promising biobased building blocks in pharmaceutical and polymer industries. In this work, dual-enzyme cascade systems composed of galactose oxidase (GOase) and alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs) are constructed for controlled synthesis of 5-formyl-2-furancarboxylic acid (FFCA) and 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) from 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), based on the catalytic promiscuity of ADHs. The byproduct H O , which is produced in GOase-catalyzed oxidation of HMF to 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF), is used for horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-mediated regeneration of the oxidized nicotinamide cofactors for subsequent oxidation of DFF promoted by an ADH, thus implementing H O internal recycling. The desired products FFCA and FDCA are obtained with yields of more than 95 %.
糠酸是医药和聚合物工业中很有前途的生物基构建模块。在这项工作中，基于醇脱氢酶（ADHs）的催化多功能性，构建了由半乳糖氧化酶（GOase）和醇脱氢酶（ADHs）组成的双酶级联系统，用于从 5-羟甲基糠醛（HMF）可控合成 5-糠醛-2-羧酸（FFCA）和 2,5-呋喃二甲酸（FDCA）。GOase 催化 HMF 氧化生成 2,5-二糠醛（DFF）过程中产生的副产物 H2O2 用于辣根过氧化物酶（HRP）介导的氧化烟酰胺辅酶的再生，以促进随后由 ADH 促进的 DFF 氧化，从而实现 H2O2 的内部循环。得到的目标产物 FFCA 和 FDCA 的产率均高于 95%。
