Molecular and biochemical characterization of a novel isoprene synthase from Metrosideros polymorpha
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 Background Isoprene is a five-carbon chemical that is an important starting material for the synthesis of rubber, elastomers, and medicines. Although many plants produce huge amounts of isoprene, it is very difficult to obtain isoprene directly from ...

Editorial–Synthetic Biology [PDF]
Nucleic Acids Research, 2010 Synthetic biology builds upon over 35 years of genetic engineering. For example, in the 1970s methods were invented for using enzymes to rework DNA. Applying these tools, bacteria were engineered to yield relevant products such as growth hormones and insulin.

A synthetic microbial biosensor for high-throughput screening of lactam biocatalysts
Nature Communications, 2018 Efficient biosynthesis of lactams is still undesirable due to lacking of suitable enzyme. Here, the authors develop a sensitive transcription factor-based biosensor for high-throughput screening of marine metagenome and find a cyclase that can cyclize ω ...
