Expression and activity characterization of fatty acyl-CoA reductases in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
Medium chain alkanes make up a huge fraction of gasoline that is widely used in land transportation today. Biosynthesis of alkanes from fatty acids was discovered in cyanobacteria and plants. Two enzymes, namely acyl-CoA reductase and aldehyde decarbonylase, catalyse this pathway with aldehyde as th...
