Abstract

Here, we report the reversible interconversion between NADH and NAD + at a low overpotential, which is in part mediated by ubiquinone embedded in a biomimetic membrane to mimic the initial stages of respiration. This system can be used as a platform to examine biologically relevant electroactive molecules embedded in a natural membrane environment and provide new insights into the mechanism of biological redox cycling.
