Machine learning-guided acyl-ACP reductase engineering for improved in vivo fatty alcohol production

Fatty acyl reductases (FARs) are critical enzymes in the biosynthesis of fatty alcohols and have the ability to directly acces acyl-ACP substrates. Here, authors couple machine learning-based protein engineering framework with gene shuffling to optimize a FAR for the activity on acyl-ACP and improve...
