Engineering HMF oxidoreductase for efficient furan building block production
As the demand for eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics grows, Polyethylene Furanoate (PEF) emerges as a promising solution. Derived from renewable biomass sources, PEF embodies sustainability principles by reducing reliance on finite resources and minimizing environmental impact. PEF is synthesized from 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA), a key monomer which upon polymerization has the
