synthesis
the enzyme can potentially be used for synthesis and production of cadaverine. Cadaverine is a promising chemical platform that has a variety of applications, including the production of polyamides, polyurethanes, chelating agents, and additives. In particular, it is relevant for the production of bio-based nylon, which can be used to replace conventional polyamides from petrochemical routes. Whereas Nylon 66 is a polymer composed of hexamethylenediamine and adipic acid, Nylon 56 is a polymer that is produced by the co-polymerization of cadaverine and adipic acid
