Abstract

Human isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH1) and its cancer-associated variant (IDH1 R132H) are rendered electroactive through coconfinement with a rapid NADP(H) recycling enzyme (ferredoxin-NADP+ reductase) in nanopores formed within an indium tin oxide electrode. Efficient coupling to localized NADP(H) enables IDH activity to be energized, controlled, and monitored in real time, leading directly to a thermodynamic redox landscape for accumulation of the oncometabolite, 2-hydroxyglutarate, that would occur in biological environments when the R132H variant is present. The technique enables time-resolved, in situ measurements of the kinetics of binding and dissociation of inhibitory drugs.
