Formate dehydrogenase from Candida boidinii (CboFDH) catalyses the oxidation of formate anion to carbon dioxide with concomitant reduction of NAD⁺ to NADH. CboFDH is highly specific to NAD⁺ and virtually fails to catalyze the reaction with NADP⁺. Based on structural information for CboFDH, the loop region between β-sheet 7 and α-helix 10 in the dinucleotide-binding fold was predicted as a principal determinant of coenzyme specificity. Sequence alignment with other formate dehydrogenases revealed two residues (Asp195 and Tyr196) that could account for the observed coenzyme specificity. Positions 195 and 196 were subjected to two rounds of site-saturation mutagenesis and screening and enabled the identification of a double mutant Asp195Gln/Tyr196His, which showed a more than 2 x 10⁷-fold improvement in overall catalytic efficiency with NADP⁺ and a more than 900-fold decrease in the efficiency with NAD⁺ as cofactors. The results demonstrate that the combined polar interactions and steric factors comprise the main structural determinants responsible for coenzyme specificity. The double mutant Asp195Gln/Tyr196His was tested for practical applicability in a cofactor recycling system composed of cytochrome P450 monooxygenase from Bacillus subtilis, (CYP102A2), NADP⁺, formic acid and ω-(p-nitrophenyl)dodecanoic acid (12-pNCA). Using a 1250-fold excess of 12-pNCA over NADP⁺ the first order rate constant was determined to be equal to kobs = 0.059 ± 0.004 min⁻¹.
