Project description
New fuel cell biocatalysts based on metalloenzymes
Directed evolution is a powerful technique for generating tailor-made enzymes for a wide range of biotechnology applications. The goal of the EU-funded DEMED project is to use the tools of directed evolution to develop and optimise artificial metalloenzymes for use in fuel cells. The project will employ electrochemical droplet microarray to screen the desired properties of a selected metalloenzyme: oxygen oxidoreductase, which has not been applied to H2/O2 enzymatic fuel cells before. The project's results will pave the way for the development of high-performance biocatalysts based on metalloenzymes for use in future electrochemical devices (fuel cells).
