Systems metabolic engineering design: fatty acid production as an emerging case study.

abstract：:Molecular chaperones in aqueous-organic mixtures can broaden the utility of biocatalysis by stabilizing enzymes in denaturing conditions. We have designed a self-renaturing enzyme-chaperone chimera consisting of penicillin amidase and a thermophilic chaperonin that functions in aqueous-organic mixtures. The flexible l...
