Abstract
The continuously increasing level of atmospheric CO2 in the atmosphere has led to global warming. Converting CO2 into other carbon compounds could mitigate its atmospheric levels and produce valuable products, as CO2 also serves as a plentiful and inexpensive carbon feedstock. However, the inert nature of CO2 poses a major challenge for its reduction. To meet the challenge, nature has evolved metalloenzymes using transition metal ions like Fe, Ni, Mo, and W, as well as electron-transfer partners for their functions. Mimicking these enzymes, artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs) have been designed using alternative protein scaffolds and various metallocofactors like Ni, Co, Re, Rh, and FeS clusters. Both the catalytic efficiency and the scope of CO2-reduction product of these ArMs have been improved over the past decade. This review first focuses on the natural metalloenzymes that directly reduce CO2 by discussing their structures and active sites, as well as the proposed reaction mechanisms. It then introduces the common strategies for electrochemical, photochemical, or photoelectrochemical utilization of these native enzymes for CO2 reduction and highlights the most recent advancements from the past five years. We also summarize principles of protein design for bio-inspired ArMs, comparing them with native enzymatic systems and outlining challenges and opportunities in enzymatic CO2 reduction.

Int J Biol Macromol 2024; 269:132075.

Abstract
Carbonic anhydrase (CA) has a promising application as a green and efficient biocatalyst for CO2 capture, and many successful cases of immobilizing CA have been reported. However, CA antifouling coatings on metal for CO2 sequestration have rarely been reported. Herein, dimeric CA from Sulfurihydrogenibium azorense (SazCA) with a ferritin tag, which was prepared by low-speed centrifugation with high yield, was adopted as a free enzyme and encapsulated in the sol-gel silica. The silica-immobilized CAs were dispersed into the commercialized metal-antifouling epoxy resin paint to obtain CA coated nickel foams, which had excellent stability, with 90 % and 67 % residual activity after 28 days of incubation at 30 °C and 60 °C, respectively. The CA coated nickel foams remained 60 % original activity after 6 cycles of use within 28 days. Then, a CA-microalgae carbon capture device was constructed using the CA coated nickel foams and Chlorella. The growth rate of Chlorella was significantly increased and the biomass of Chlorella increased by 29 % compared with control after 7 days of incubation. Due to the simple and cost-effective preparation process, sustainable and efficient CO2 absorption, this easy-to-scale up CA coated nickel foam has great potential in CA assisted microalgae-based CO2 capture and carbon neutrality.

Abstract
Enzymatic carbon dioxide fixation is one of the most important metabolic reactions as it allows the capture of inorganic carbon from the atmosphere and its conversion into organic biomass. However, due to the often unfavorable thermodynamics and the difficulties associated with the utilization of CO2, a gaseous substrate that is found in comparatively low concentrations in the atmosphere, such reactions remain challenging for biotechnological applications. Nature has tackled these problems by evolution of dedicated CO2-fixing enzymes, i.e., carboxylases, and embedding them in complex metabolic pathways. Biotechnology employs such carboxylating and decarboxylating enzymes for the carboxylation of aromatic and aliphatic substrates either by embedding them into more complex reaction cascades or by shifting the reaction equilibrium via reaction engineering. This review aims to provide an overview of natural CO2-fixing enzymes and their mechanistic similarities. We also discuss biocatalytic applications of carboxylases and decarboxylases for the synthesis of valuable products and provide a separate summary of strategies to improve the efficiency of such processes. We briefly summarize natural CO2 fixation pathways, provide a roadmap for the design and implementation of artificial carbon fixation pathways, and highlight examples of biocatalytic cascades involving carboxylases. Additionally, we suggest that biochemical utilization of reduced CO2 derivates, such as formate or methanol, represents a suitable alternative to direct use of CO2 and provide several examples. Our discussion closes with a techno-economic perspective on enzymatic CO2 fixation and its potential to reduce CO2 emissions.

Abstract
Oxidized nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) is a biological molecule of systemic importance. Essential role of NAD+ in cellular metabolism relies on the substrate action in various redox reactions and cellular signaling. This work introduces an efficient enzymatic assay of NAD+ content in human blood using recombinant formate dehydrogenase (FDH, EC 1.2.1.2), and demonstrates its diagnostic potential, comparing NAD+ content in the whole blood of control subjects and patients with cardiac or neurological pathologies. In the control group (n = 22, 25–70 years old), our quantification of the blood concentration of NAD+ (18 μM, minimum 15, max 23) corresponds well to NAD+ quantifications reported in literature. In patients with demyelinating neurological diseases (n = 10, 18–55 years old), the NAD+ levels significantly (p < 0.0001) decrease (to 14 μM, min 13, max 16), compared to the control group. In cardiac patients with the heart failure of stage II and III according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional classification (n = 24, 42–83 years old), the blood levels of NAD+ (13 μM, min 9, max 18) are lower than those in the control subjects (p < 0.0001) or neurological patients (p = 0.1). A better discrimination of the cardiac and neurological patients is achieved when the ratios of NAD+ to the blood creatinine levels, mean corpuscular volume or potassium ions are compared. The proposed NAD+ assay provides an easy and robust tool for clinical analyses of an important metabolic indicator in the human blood.
