Figure 1From: Conversion of fatty aldehydes into alk (a/e)nes by in vitroreconstituted cyanobacterial aldehyde-deformylating oxygenase with the cognate electron transfer systemADO-catalysed reaction [[8],[12]-[16]]. Oxygen and the auxiliary reducing system (biological or chemical) providing four electrons are needed for ADO activity, one O-atom is incorporated into formate, and the aldehyde hydrogen is retained in formate.Back to article page
