摘要

Abstract

The synthesis of hydroxy fatty acids (HFAs) from renewable oil feedstock by addition of water onto C=C bonds has attracted great attention in recent years. Given that selective asymmetric hydration of non-activated C=C bonds has been proven difficult to achieve with chemical catalysts

enzymatic catalysis by fatty acid hydratases (FAHs) presents an attractive alternative approach to produce value-added HFAs with high regio-

enantioand stereospecificity

as well as excellent atom economy. Even though FAHs have just been investigated as a potential biocatalyst for a decade

remarkable information about FAHs in different aspects is available; however

a comprehensive review has not been archived. Herein

we summarize the research progresses on biochemical characterization

structural and mechanistic determination

enzyme engineering

as well as biotechnological application of FAHs. The current challenges and opportunities for an efficient utilization of FAHs in organic synthesis and industrial applications are critically discussed.
