Zusammenfassung:The disclosure relates to polypeptides having carboxylic acid reductase (CAR) activity, including enzymes that catalyse the irreversible reduction of carboxylic acids, such as pimelic acid and adipic acid, to their respective semialdehydes. The enzymes have been engineered to have higher activity over a corresponding wild type enzyme. Provided herein are novel polypeptides and uses thereof related to the same.
