Abstract

Provided is an enzyme reactor (100) that allows producing a high valueadded substance by performing a process in which a reduction reaction and an enzymatic reaction are linked using energy generated by a photocatalyst. An enzyme reactor (100) according to the present invention includes: an ion exchange membrane (4) that partitions an inside of a reaction vessel (2) into an anode chamber (2A) and a cathode chamber (2C); a semipermeable membrane (6) that partitions the cathode chamber (2C) into a photocatalytic reaction chamber (2P) and an enzymatic reaction chamber (2E); an anodic electrolytic solution (LA) housed in the anode chamber (2A); a cathodic electrolytic solution (LC) housed in the photocatalytic reaction chamber (2P); an enzyme reaction solution (LE) housed in the enzymatic reaction chamber (2E); an anodic electrode (10A) disposed in the anode chamber (2A); and a cathodic electrode (10C) disposed in the photocatalytic reaction chamber (2P). The cathodic electrode (10C) has a surface on which a photocatalyst layer (10Cp) is disposed. The cathodic electrolytic solution (LC) contains an electron mediator. The enzyme reaction solution (LE) contains an enzyme and a raw material substrate. The cathodic electrolytic solution (LC) and the enzyme reaction solution (LE) are in contact with one another via the semipermeable membrane (6). The semipermeable membrane (6) allows the reduced electron mediator to permeate through and does not allow the enzyme to permeate through.
