Discovery of the redox-switch of a key enzyme involved in n-butanol biosynthesis
Daejeon, South Korea (SPX) Sep 24, 2015 - Two Korean research teams at the Kyungpook National University (KNU) and the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have succeeded in uncovering the redox-switch of thiolase, a key enzyme for n-butanol production in Clostridium acetobutylicum, one of the best known butanol-producing bacteria. Biological n-butanol production was first reported by Louis Pasteur in 1861, a ... more
