Biophysical and structural studies reveal marginal stability of a crucial hydrocarbon biosynthetic enzyme acyl ACP reductase
Abstract Acyl-ACP reductase (AAR) is one of the two key cyanobacterial enzymes along with aldehyde deformylating oxygenase (ADO) involved in the synthesis of long-chain alkanes, a drop-in biofuel. The enzyme is prone to aggregation when expressed in Escherichia coli, leading to varying alkane levels...
