Marine algae are a major source of ω-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (ω3-LCPUFAs), which are conditionally essential nutrients in humans and a target for industrial production. The biosynthesis of these molecules in marine algae requires the desaturation of fatty acids by Δ6-desaturases, and enzymes from different species display a range of specificities toward ω3- and ω6-LCPUFA precursors. In the absence of a molecular structure, the structural basis for the variable substrate specificity of Δ6-desaturases is poorly understo
