Significance Nature uses enzymes to catalyze a vast array of complex chemical reactions. Enzymes that catalyze reduction reactions require partners that provide the electrons ultimately used in catalysis. In nature, the associated electron transfer sequences can be complicated, energy-inefficient, and rate determining. Here, we employ artificial electron donors, photoexcited semiconductor nanocrystals, to provide the electrons for catalysis. We couple these nanocrystals with an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of carbon−carbon bonds via CO2 reduction. With this architecture, we demonstrate light-driven formation of 2-oxoglutarate, storing some of the photon energy in the chemical product. We examine the role of electron transfer from the nanocrystal to the enzyme in the light-driven chemical conversion and learn that the enzyme modulates this process during catalysis.
