Studies on the Selectivity Mechanism of Wild-Type <i>E. coli</i> Thioesterase ‘TesA and Its Mutants for Medium- and Long-Chain Acyl Substrates

<i>E. coli</i> thioesterase ‘TesA is an important enzyme in fatty acid production. Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs, C6-C10) are of great interest due to their similar physicochemical properties to petroleum-based oleo-chemicals. It has been shown that wild-type ‘TesA had better selectivi...
