Production of nonnatural straight-chain amino acid 6-aminocaproate via an artificial iterative carbon-chain-extension cycle

Bioplastics produced from microbial source are promising green alternatives to traditional petrochemical-derived plastics. Nonnatural straight-chain amino acids, especially 5-aminovalerate, 6-aminocaproate and 7-aminoheptanoate are potential monomers for the synthesis of polymeric bioplastics as the...
