Ferulic acid decarboxylase (FDC)

Ferulic Acid Decarboxylase

Ferulic acid decarboxylase (FDC) catalyzes the conversion of trans-cinnamic acid to styrene. We isolated this genetic part from Saccharomyces cerevisiae and inserted the protein-coding sequence into the pSB1C3 backbone. The original sequence in yeast contains an SpeI restriction site in the 999th nucleotide position. Thus, we performed site-directed mutagenesis in order to make our part BioBrick compatible. Gene sequencing analysis confirmed that our site-directed mutagenesis was successful. See our synthesized FDC for more results.
