What molecule are you expressing?&#10;The target product is polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a biodegradable polymer. Because PHB is a material rather than a single protein, the genetic construct is designed to express the three enzymes of the PHB biosynthesis pathway:&#10;PhaA — acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase PhaB — acetoacetyl-CoA reductase PhaC — PHB synthase&#10;Together, these enzymes convert acetyl-CoA into PHB. The three-enzyme pathway is also associated with PHB production in Methylocystis and other PHB-producing bacteria.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026b/muskan-jain-jain/week-02-hw-dna-design/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
