Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Let enzymes work</bold>: H₂ was produced from xylose and water in one reactor containing 13 enzymes (red). By using a novel polyphosphate xylulokinase (XK), xylose was converted into H₂ and CO₂ with approaching 100 % of the theoretical yield. The findings suggest that cell‐free biosystems could produce H₂ from biomass xylose at low cost. Xu5P=xylulose 5‐phosphate, G6P=glucose 6‐phosphate.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1xps8380" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
