Machine learning model of the catalytic efficiency and substrate specificity of acyl-ACP thioesterase variants generated from natural and in vitro directed evolution

Modulating the catalytic activity of acyl-ACP thioesterase (TE) is an important biotechnological target for effectively increasing flux and diversifying products of the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway. In this study, a directed evolution approach was developed to improve the fatty acid titer and fat...
