Crystal structures of non-oxidative decarboxylases reveal a new mechanism of action with a catalytic dyad and structural twists
Abstract Hydroxybenzoic acids, like gallic acid and protocatechuic acid, are highly abundant natural compounds. In biotechnology, they serve as critical precursors for various molecules in heterologous production pathways, but a major bottleneck is these acids’ non-oxidative decarboxylation to hydro...
