Role of PhaC Type I and Type II Enzymes during PHA Biosynthesis

Role of PhaC Type I and Type II Enzymes during PHA Biosynthesis

PHA synthases (PhaC) are grouped into four classes based on the kinetics and mechanisms of reaction. The grouping of PhaC enzymes into four classes is dependent on substrate specificity, according to the preference in forming short-chain-length (scl) or medium-chain-length (mcl) polymers: Class I, C...
