AI Article Synopsis

  • Green light enhances the photostability of fatty acid photodecarboxylase (FAP), leading to a notable increase in pentadecane yield by 27.6%.
  • Blue light, while beneficial for high FAP activity, does not match the residual activity improvements seen with green light, which shows a 5.9-fold increase after preillumination.
  • Kinetic and thermodynamic analysis suggests that both green and blue light play distinct roles in optimizing FAP performance.

Article Abstract

Green light was documented to improve the photostability of fatty acid photodecarboxylase from (FAP). Compared to blue light, green light increased the pentadecane yield by 27.6% and improved the residual activity of FAP to 5.9-fold after the preillumination. Kinetics and thermodynamics indicated that blue light facilitated a high FAP activity.
