Abstract
Provided are CO hydratase and a method for producing formate using the same, and more specifically, to CO hydratase which is a novel enzyme which is produced by linking CO dehydrogenase (CODH) and CO2 reductase and can directly convert CO into formate, and use thereof.
Claims12
A carbon monoxide hydratase (CO hydratase) in which CO dehydrogenase (CODH) and formate dehydrogenase (FDH) are linked:
- (i) as a form of a fusion protein, (ii) by a linker protein, or (iii) by immobilization to metal or a conductive carrier, wherein the carbon monoxide hydratase has an ability to convert directly carbon monoxide (CO) into formate.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
