Exploring Class I polyhydroxyalkanoate synthases with broad substrate specificity for polymerization of structurally diverse monomer units

Polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) synthases (PhaCs) are key enzymes in PHA polymerization. PhaCs with broad substrate specificity are attractive for synthesizing structurally diverse PHAs. In the PHA family, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3HB)-based copolymers are industrially produced using Class I PhaCs and can be u...
