A thermophilic cell-free cascade enzymatic reaction for acetoin synthesis from pyruvate

Abstract Acetoin (3-hydroxy-2-butanone) is an important bio-based platform chemical with wide applications. In vitro enzyme catalysed synthesis exhibits great feasibility in the production of chemicals with high purity. In the present work, a synthetic pathway involving a two-step continuous reactio...
