Description Enzymes have been engineered to have new activities, and incorporated into synthetic metabolic pathways. This has allowed us to biosynthesise chemicals of commericial interest, and to do so in a sustainable manner from light and CO2.
Exploitation Route The engineered enzymes and pathways can be built upon and expanded to allow for biosynthesis of a greater range of useful chemicals.
