Combining the Power of Biocatalysis and Membrane-Based Purification To Access NADP⁺

Abstract

In this study, using a model solution corresponding to the final medium composition of the NADP + enzymatic production, we present for the first time a sustainable and simple alternative membrane-based filtration process that readily provides NADP + in high purity. A membrane selection was first performed, and the GE membrane (Suez Water Technologies & Solutions (USA)) was shown to provide the best NADP + retention rate >80% at 4 bar. An enzymatic strategy based on the addition of a commercial ATP diphosphohydrolase (apyrase from potatoes) to the model solution significantly simplified the composition of the medium, resulting in a very good discrimination profile between NADP + and AMP retention (69.3% gap) on the one side, and NADP + and adenine (87.5% gap) on the other. These data allowed to predict a profile of purity and loss of NADP + as a function of diafiltration volume (DV). According to these predictions, a >90% purity could be achieved after only 4 DV, demonstrating that this membrane-based purification method achieves a very high purity rate of NADP + while being competitive compared to the other conventional methods currently used.

Immobilization of Adenosine Derivatives onto Cellulose Nanocrystals via Click Chemistry for Biocatalysis Applications

“…ATP also plays a major role as a precursor of many important cofactors, including coenzyme A (CoASH), S -adenosylmethionine (SAM), nico­tinamide adenine dinucleotide NAD­(H), and its phosphorylated form NADP­(H). , Unfortunately, the high cost of these adenosine-based components has limited the development of cofactor-dependent enzymes industrially for biocatalytic processes. Considerable efforts have focused on optimizing their synthesis, regeneration and purification. − For instance, novel synthetic chemo-enzymatic route to coenzyme A (CoASH) and its disulfite derivate (CoAS), as well as a membrane process for high-purity CoA and NADP + cofactors, have been reported. − …”

Design of NAMPTs with Superior Activity by Dual-Channel Protein Engineering Strategy

“…Nucleoside compounds are a class of organic compounds that contain a nucleoside base and one or more phosphate groups. They are widely used as food, nutritional chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. − Among them, β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) has been widely concerned for the promising antiaging effect due to its reported ability to reverse vascular aging and muscle atrophy in elderly animals . Additionally, NMN is also used as a precursor to synthesize nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD + ) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP + ), which play an important role in regulating diverse biological processes, encompassing energy metabolism, gene expression regulation, DNA repair, mitochondrial function, immune response, calcium homeostasis, and cell death. , …”
