BrtB is an O-alkylating enzyme that generates fatty acid-bartoloside esters
O-alkylation of carboxylates by alkyl halides has only been observed transiently in enzymatic processes. Here, the authors show a carboxylate alkylating enzyme, BrtB, that catalyzes C-O bond formation between free fatty acids and secondary alkyl chlorides.
