Efficient Production of Hydrogen from Glucose-6-Phosphate

چکیده
The maximum molar yield of hydrogen that can be obtained from a renewable sugar such as glucose is 12 mol H per mole glucose. In this work it has been shown that the enzymes of the oxidative 2 cyclic pentose phosphate pathway coupled to hydrogenase, using NADP as the electron carrier, is + capable of generating 11.6 mol H per mole of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P). These results provide the 2 first evidence to indicate that the maximum molar yield of hydrogen from a renewable sugar, such as glucose, is possible enzymatically, and, as such, could lead to an efficent process for biohydrogen production.

متن کاملSources of glucose production in cirrhosis by 2H2O ingestion and 2H NMR analysis of plasma glucose.
Plasma glucose 2H enrichment was quantified by 2H NMR in patients with cirrhosis (n=6) and healthy subjects (n=5) fasted for 16 h and given 2H(2)O to approximately 0.5% body water. The percent contribution of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis to glucose production (GP) was estimated from the relative enrichments of hydrogen 5 and hydrogen 2 of plasma glucose. Fasting plasma glucose levels were...
