Deskripsi

Fatty acyl reductases (FARs) are critical enzymes in the biosynthesis of fatty alcohols and have the ability to directly acces acyl-ACP substrates. Here, authors couple machine learning-based protein engineering framework with gene shuffling to optimize a FAR for the activity on acyl-ACP and improve fatty alcohol production.
