Metabolic engineering strategies for de novo biosynthesis of sterols and steroids in yeast

Abstract Steroidal compounds are of great interest in the pharmaceutical field, with steroidal drugs as the second largest category of medicine in the world. Advances in synthetic biology and metabolic engineering have enabled de novo biosynthesis of sterols and steroids in yeast, which is a green a...
