Abstract: 7‐Methylxanthine, a derivative of caffeine (1,3,7‐trimethylxanthine), is a high‐value compound that has multiple medical applications, particularly with respect to eye health. Here, we demonstrate the biocatalytic production of 7‐methylxanthine from caffeine using Escherichia coli strain… read more here.
