Cch2 (BBa_K1813000)

.

Part Description

Codon optimized coding sequence of Cch2, an enzyme from the ''Bradyrhizobiaceae'' bacterium SG-6C, for E.Coli. This part was used to make our part BBa_K1813001 .

Part Origin

Originally cloned and characterized by Shettigar et al. from Bradyrhizobiaceae bacterial strain SG 6C [1].

Part Function

The enzyme coded for by cch2 converts 6-chloronicotinic acid (6-CNA) to 6-Hydronicotinic acid (6-HNA).
