Abstract
This document describes biochemical pathways for producing butadiene by forming two vinyl groups in a butadiene synthesis substrate. These pathways described herein rely on enzymes such as, inter alia, a decarboxylating thioesterase, cytochrome P450, or dehydratases for the final enzymatic step.
Claims24
A method of butadiene synthesis, the method comprising introducing a first vinyl group into a first vinyl group acceptor compound using a dehydratase, a dehydrogenase, an isomerase, a synthase or a desaturase.
A method of butadiene synthesis, the method comprising introducing a second vinyl group into a second vinyl group acceptor compound using a decarboxylating thioesterase, a decarboxylating cytochrome P450 or a dehydratase.
