Figure 3. Oxidative decarboxylation of arachidic acid by OleT.

Figure 3.

(A) The total ion count from gas chromatography separation of the C19 terminal alkene 1-nonadecene in the reaction of OleT with arachidic acid (C20:0) and with a major peak at 16.21 min. (B) Mass spectrometric analysis of the peak (16.21 min) with the inset highlighting the region of the mass ion with m/z 266, consistent with the formation of the 1-nonadecene product. The identification of the 1-nonadecene product was confirmed using tandem (MS–MS) mass spectrometry.
