This represents something powerful: a hybrid metabolic pathway that neither biology nor chemistry could achieve alone.
Beyond advancing circular and sustainable chemical manufacturing, we hope this sparks new directions at the interface of chemical and biological synthesis. (3/n)

We discovered that phosphate inside living cells catalyses a biocompatible Lossen rearrangement - a classic chemical reaction never before seen in nature. Add a few enzymes using engineering biology, and the result: paracetamol 💊 from plastic waste🗑️ (2/n).
