Methane monooxygenase (MMO) is capable of methane activation under ambient conditions, but most MMO applications are hindered by the slow electron transfer from NADH to the reductase and further to the hydroxylase. Here, the authors report an NADH-free biosolar platform for the conversion of methane to methanol, featuring high catalytic productivity using xanthene dyes as light harvesters.
