Title: Computer Modeling of Carbon Metabolism Enables Biofuel Engineering (Fact Sheet)

Program Document ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1024526· OSTI ID:1024526

In an effort to reduce the cost of biofuels, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) has merged biochemistry with modern computing and mathematics. The result is a model of carbon metabolism that will help researchers understand and engineer the process of photosynthesis for optimal biofuel production.
