Abstract

Here we report an improved μTAS based on electrochemical measurements and microbeads sorting for screening of NAD(P)-dependent oxidoreductases. By using this system, we measured the activity of model enzymes immobilized on microbeads by detection of NADH with a boron-doped diamond (BDD) electrode in each compartment (∼30 nL) of the microfluidic system. Then, we recovered the magnetic microbeads or the droplets containing genes of enzymes with higher activity by magnetophoretic or dielectrophoretic sorting, respectively. Our μTAS should be useful for directed evolution of various NAD(P)-dependent oxidoreductases with high activity and stability in the future.
