Fig. 2. Design of AnFDC for 1,3-butadiene production.

Fig. 2

a Overlay of the active site of AnFDC with bound α-methyl cinnamic acid (dark green) from PDB:4ZA7, a model of ccMA (light green)-bound AnFDC with the lowest energy poses and a schematic design for ccMA. The negative hydrogen network and hydrophobic interactions are shown as dashed lines. b Relative decarboxylation activity of 25 AnFDC mutants designed for ccMA. The activity of WT AnFDC was defined as 1. The data are presented as the means ± SDs of three independent experiments (n = 3). c Simulated active site of the designed AnFDC Y394H:T395Q with bound ccMA. AnFDC ferulic acid decarboxylase derived from Aspergillus niger, mCA α-methyl cinnamic acid, ccMA cis,cis-muconic acid, SD standard deviation. Source data underlying Fig. 2b are provided as a Source Data file.
