Methyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate is a precursor in the biosynthesis of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) in microbial cells. It serves as a substrate for the enzyme β-ketothiolase, which catalyzes the conversion of acetoacetyl-CoA to two molecules of acetyl-CoA. Methyl (R)-3-hydroxybutyrate is involved in the production of these polymers, contributing to the development of sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. Its mechanism of action involves its enzymatic conversion to acetoacetyl-CoA, which is then utilized in the biosynthesis of PHAs by microbial cells.
