Chemistry with an Artificial Primer of Polyhydroxybutyrate Synthase Suggests a Mechanism for Chain Termination

Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) synthases (PhaCs) catalyze the conversion of 3-(R)-hydroxybutyryl CoA (HBCoA) to PHB, which is deposited as granules in the cytoplasm of microorganisms. The class I PhaC from Caulobacter crescentus (PhaC[subscript Cc]) is a highly soluble protein with a turnover number of 7...
