CAS Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology improves adipic acid biosynthesis through enzyme design

Key approaches was the rational protein design of Acinetobacter sp. ADP1 catechol 1,2 dioxygenase CatA, to increase the production of muconic acid, an adipic acid precursor. Yields of muconic acid were over 25 % increased when the mutant enzyme was used.
