title: Kinetic modeling of acetophenone reduction catalyzed by alcohol dehydrogenase from Thermoanaerobacter sp.
abstract: NADPH-dependent alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from Thermoanaerobacter sp. was kinetically characterized using reduction of acetophenone as a model. To achieve 98% conversion of acetophenone, cofactor regeneration by oxidation of 2-propanol with the same enzyme was used. The enzyme was stable in the batch reactor. It was enantioselective towards (S)-1-phenylethanol (ee>99.5%). Due to its high deactivation in continuously operated stirred tank reactor (kd=0.0141 min-1) there was no way to keep high conversion of acetophenone at 98%. The deactivation occurred in the repetitive batch as well. A mathematical model for the acetophenone reduction with cofactor regeneration describing the behaviour in a batch, repetitive-batch and continuously stirred tank reactor was developed.
