Membrane-bound alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from Gluconobacter oxydans is a direct electron transfer-type biocatalyst for ethanol oxidation. To improve its bioelectrocatalysis, membrane-binding regions of ADH were predicted, resulting in the construction of a soluble ADH variant by enzyme engineering. The variant was purified and characterized using structural and bioelectrochemical approaches.
