| Comments | This algal enzyme, characterized from the green algae?Chlorella variabilis?and?Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, is dependent on blue light, which photooxidizes its FAD cofactor. The enzyme acts on fatty acids in the range of C12?to C22, with a higher efficiency for C16?to C17?chains, and forms an alkane product that is one carbon shorter than the substrate. The enzyme can also act on unsaturated fatty acids, forming the respective alkenes, but does not generate a new double bond. |
