MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR BIOSYNTHETIC MANUFACTURE OF PIMELIC ACID AND UTILIZATION OF SYNTHETIC POLYPEPTIDES

Provided herein are novel, synthetic polypeptides having, for example, acyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) thioesterase (TE) activity, including polypeptides that convert pimeloyl-ACP to pimelic acid. In some aspects, the synthetic polypeptides have advantageous enzymatic activity and/or improved substr...

Zusammenfassung:Provided herein are novel, synthetic polypeptides having, for example, acyl-acyl carrier protein (ACP) thioesterase (TE) activity, including polypeptides that convert pimeloyl-ACP to pimelic acid. In some aspects, the synthetic polypeptides have advantageous enzymatic activity and/or improved substrate specificity relative to a wild type acyl-ACP TE.
