Description
Acyl-CoA synthetase is the first enzyme the beta oxidation pathway. It attaches Coenzyme-A to long chain fatty acids (LCFAs), allowing them to continue through the pathway. The transcription of fadD is controlled by the enzyme produced by fadR under standard conditions. In this plasmid, fadD is under control of the lac promoter.
Notes
This plasmid is designed to allow for induced transcription with lactose or IPTG.
Source
This fadD is endogenous to E. coli and was extracted by genomic PCR from DH5alpha E. coli cells.
