Orthogonal glycolytic pathway enables directed evolution of noncanonical cofactor oxidase

Engineering enzymes to accept noncanonical cofactor biomimetics is difficult. Here, the authors establish a self-sufficient growth selection method and demonstrate its application in engineering the Lactobacillus pentosus NADH oxidase to efficiently recycle reduced nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMNH)...
