Abstract

Described are 3-hydroxyisovalerate (HIV) synthase variants having improved activity in converting acetone and a compound which provides an activated acetyl group into 3-hydroxyisovalerate (HIV). Moreover, described are in particular methods for the production of 3-hydroxyisovalerate and methods for the production of isobutene from acetone utilizing the HIV synthase variants of the present invention.
