Resul s and discussion
Es ablishing a co ac o ecycling sys em o a TMA monooxygenase
When se ing up a co ac o ecycling sys em o enzyma ic emo al o TMA in FPH, we chose
he GdhB enzyme and glucose as sac i icial subs a e, and o use NADP+ as he added co ac o .
To guide enzyme dosage and co ac o concen a ion in he dual enzyme sys em, we
cha ac e ized he kine ics o GdhB o glucose. The Km o GdhB o glucose was 68.7 mM
(Table S1), a ac o o 8 x 105 highe han ha o mFMO_20 o TMA (17). The Vmax was abou
hal ha o mFMO_20. To compensa e o he lowe e iciency o GdhB, we se up he ecycling
sys em using a glucose concen a ion o 50 mM and a 10:1 a io o GdhB o mFMO_20. Since
NADH is mo e s able and less cos ly han NADPH, ac i i ies o a mFMO_20 and GdhB we e
assessed using bo h NADPH and NADH as elec on dono s. GdhB can ca alyze oxida ion o
glucose by using bo h co ac o s and can as well ca alyze he e e se eac ion using NAD(P)H
and GDL (Supplemen al Figu e S1A). A su icien ly high glucose concen a ion is his equi ed

no accep NADH as a co ac o (Supplemen al Figu e S1B), necessi a ing use o NADP+.
