Artificial biosynthetic pathways are typically assembled and optimized progressively, from earlier to later steps. This commentary highlights the potential of an alternate regressive method for ...

Biosynthetic pathways for secondary metabolites usually make many products, not just one. In this Commentary, we consider why molecular promiscuity might be an evolutionarily advantageous feature ...

该研究以松果菊苷为目标，成功完成了14条相关基因的克隆鉴定，揭示了由酪氨酸起始至松果菊苷的全生物合成途径，明晰了肉苁蓉体内两条与酪醇生物合成相关的路径，并鉴定了酪醇后修饰阶段装配生成松果菊苷相关的糖基转移酶、酰基转移酶及P450羟化酶。进一步在烟草中 ...

Two enzyme inhibitors join forces in reducing bladder cancer cell proliferation. n 1996, molecular biologist Kun Ping Lu, a ...

Anabolic – this type of pathway requires energy and is used to build up large molecules from smaller ones (biosynthesis). Catabolic – this type of pathway releases energy and is used to break ...

Roundup has been a current topic on these pages. Stephanie Seneff, a senior research scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has been raked over the coals by the corporation that ...

In the project, he wants to investigate the unique biosynthetic pathways and active compounds of anaerobic bacteria in order to better understand their role in nature and make them usable for ...

A study study has uncovered the complex role of abscisic acid (ABA) in regulating chlorophyll accumulation in apple plants. The research reveals that ...
