Professor Jian-He Xu Gave An Academic Report Online
 

    Professor Jianhe Xu from East China University of Science and Technology was invited to give an online academic report on "Research on the production of terpenes and fatty acids through multi enzyme cascade catalysis" for faculty and students of the Department of Biochemical Engineering on April 25th, 2023. Professor Yan Sun presided over the report meeting. Based on the design build test (D-B-T) concept of synthetic biology, Professor Xu described the scientific and engineering problems involved in the design of the artificial multi enzyme pathway. Starting from problem-solving and practical applications, he focused on the representative work that his group has done in recent years, including reconstructing the biosynthetic pathway in natural mint plants from limonene to l-menthol and constructing plug and play functional modules, 10 bifunctional high-end chemicals with diverse structures can be synthesized starting from oleic acid after flexible assembly.
