Molecular and biochemical characterization of a novel isoprene synthase from Metrosideros polymorpha

Abstract Background Isoprene is a five-carbon chemical that is an important starting material for the synthesis of rubber, elastomers, and medicines. Although many plants produce huge amounts of isoprene, it is very difficult to obtain isoprene directly from plants because of its high volatility and...
