Researchers identify the crucial protein for controlling the biosynthesis of steroidal glycoalkaloids and saponins in plants of the genus Solanum and for the first time demonstrate the ecological role ...

ABSTRACT: In the flavonoid biosynthesis pathway, Chalcone synthase (CHS) is involved in the formation of the pigment and has been shown to be a rate-limiting enzyme for the synthesis of flavonoids. In ...

Scientists have created a much faster way to make certain complex molecules, which are widely used by pharmaceuticals for antibiotics and anti-fungal medicines. The first-of-its-kind discovery by ...

A German-US coalition of researchers from Goethe University Frankfurt (Germany) and the University of Michigan (MI, USA) have added a new element to the production of an antibiotic, erythromycin, to ...

Filamentous fungi are highly productive cell factories, many of which are industrial producers of enzymes, organic acids, and secondary metabolites. The increasing number of sequenced fungal genomes ...

Researchers published a study confirming the discovery of a new process for producing active complex compounds in amoebae. In particular, studying the process of olivetolic acid production (a compound ...
