Research Progress of Fatty Acid Photodecarboxylase and its Application in Organic Synthesis
Bio-based fatty acids are renewable energy with great application potential.The conversion of bio-based fatty acid raw materials into high-value chemicals and fuels in a green and low-carbon way can meet the urgent needs of sustainable development in modern society,and also meet the needs of green biological manufacturing.Biocatalysis has attracted extensive attention from many scholars due to its mild reaction conditions and high selectivity.Among them,the newly discovered visible light-driven fatty acid photodecarboxylase(CvFAP)can catalyze the decarboxylation of fatty acids with different chain lengths to synthesize fuels and chemicals.The reaction process has an extremely high atomic economy and has broad application prospects in the field of green catalytic technology and energy.This review aims to summarize and analyze the latest research progress of fatty acid photodecarboxylase(CvFAP)and prospects for the development trend of fatty acid photodecarboxylase,to provide references for the further development and utilization of fatty acid photodecarboxylase(CvFAP)in the field of green synthesis.
