Description
The benzyl alcohol acetyltransferase (BEAT) enzyme was extracted from clarkia breweri flower petals. It catalyzes the production of benzyl acetate (a volatile, odorous compound) from benzyl alcohol (precursor molecule)
Notes
The part was extracted from a flower, it was optimized for expression in E. coli
