Using energy from light to activate natural enzymes can help scientists create new-to-nature enzymatic reactions that support eco-friendly biomanufacturing the production of fuels, plastics, and valuable chemicals from plants or other biological systems. Applying this photoenzymatic approach, CABBI researchers have developed a clean, efficient way to synthesize crucial chemical building blocks known as chiral amines, solving a longstanding challenge in synthetic chemistry.
