Harvest time: Proflavine drives the reduction of NAD(+) in the presence of a Rh-based electron mediator. Photoregenerated NADH was enzymatically active for oxidation by NADH-dependent L-glutamate dehydrogenase for the synthesis of L-glutamate. This work suggests that proflavine has the potential to become an efficient light-harvesting component in biocatalytic photosynthesis driven by solar energy.
