Short-chain primary amines (SCPAs) are industrially important compounds that are commonly produced under harsh synthetic conditions. Here, the authors report a combination of retrobiosynthesis and precursor selection step for design of biosynthetic pathways leading to production of SCPAs, using valine decarboxylase-expressing Escherichia coli strains.
