β-Alanine is the only naturally occurring β-type amino acid in nature, and it is also one of the
very promising three-carbon platform compounds that can be applied in cosmetics and food …

Integration of cell-free systems with genetic biosensors is emerging as an advantageous
platform for small molecule detection. This biosensor-coupled cell-free system simplifies an …

Engineered living materials (ELMs) combine living cells with polymeric matrices to yield
unique materials with programmable functions. While the cellular platform and the polymer …

RNA oxidation, predominantly through the accumulation of 8-oxo-7, 8-dihydroguanosine (8-
oxo-rG), represents an important biomarker for cellular oxidative stress. Polynucleotide …

Rational microbial chassis design and engineering for improving production of amino acids
have attracted a considerable attention. l-glutamate, l-lysine, l-threonine and l-tryptophan …

Nitroaromatic compounds are widely used in industry, but their production is associated with
issues such as the hazardousness of the process and low regioselectivity. Here, we …

L-aspartate α-decarboxylase (ADC) is a pyruvoyl-dependent decarboxylase that catalyzes
the conversion of L-aspartate to β-alanine in the pantothenate pathway. The enzyme has …

Inducible gene expression systems are vital tools for synthetic biology. This study focused
on a microbial polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) related inducible expression system, namely …

Phenylethanol, known for its rose-like odor and antibacterial activity, is synthesized via
exogenous phenylpyruvate by the sequential reaction of phenylpyruvate decarboxylase …

L-Homoserine, serves as a non-essential precursor for the essential amino acids derived
from L-aspartate in both animals and humans. It finds widespread applications across the …
