24-9 Team at CAS Tianjin Institute of Industrial Biotechnology synthesises starch from CO2 in a cell-free system

The group used computational design to draft an artificial anabolic pathway from CO2 to starch.  First, CO2 is reduced to methanol by an inorganic catalyst. Next, in a cell free system with spatial and temporal segregation, methanol is covered to starch through 11 core reactions driven by hydrogen and including engineered enzymes. Reaction rates in […]
