The race with microbial factories: Metabolic and protein engineering for production small molecules in plants

Version 1

Projects that do not fall under current programmes.

Classic industrial chemical processes often rely on hazardous substances, consume energy, depend on non-recoverable materials, and produce toxic waste products. In contrast, enzymes catalyze the synthesis of molecules with remarkable selectivity under mild reaction conditions. This highlights the growing demand for affordable and sustainable production of small molecules with valuable activities, achievable through the integration of heterologous enzymes and substrates in biological synthetic ...
