Structural highlights
FunctionALDEC_PROMM Catalyzes the decarbonylation of fatty aldehydes to alkanes. Requires the presence of ferredoxin, ferredoxin reductase and NADPH for in vitro decarbonylase activity (By similarity). Involved in the biosynthesis of alkanes, mainly heptadecane and pentadecane.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedBiocatalytic propane production: structure-based engineering of aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase improves specificity for short- and medium-chain-length aldehydes and enhances the propane generation in whole-cell biotransformations. This presents new opportunities for developing biocatalytic modules for the production of volatile "drop-in" biofuels.
