Analysis 2010
-
Liu started by producing cyanobacteria carrying the enzyme thioesterase, that clips the bonds that bind the fatty acid to more complex carrier proteins.
-
"I use genes that can steal fatty acids from the lipid synthesis pathway," Liu explains noting that thioesterase acts to efficiently clip the bonds associating the fatty acids with more complex molecules.
