China is looking to develop food biosynthesis as a major solution to meet ‘new food demands’ and supply challenges in the ...

Lignans are low molecular weight polyphenolic compounds with important antitumor and antiviral properties. However, their low ...

Enzymes, the core catalysts in life, drive critical biological processes ranging from metabolic regulation to energy ...

However, the composition, cytological distribution, and biosynthesis molecular mechanisms of active polysaccharides in ...

A new review explores how TMAO, a gut-derived metabolite from red meat and other foods, contributes to heart and brain ...

A major disadvantage with traditional tree breeding, especially for forest tree species, is slow progress due to long generation periods. However, by taking advantage of recent developments in ...

Over decades of research we have identified and cloned the genes for the enzymes of chlorophyll biosynthesis, and we have overexpressed them in E. coli, so we can purify each enzyme and find out how ...

Important points to be addressed in the future are how PlsY is regulated and why some bacteria contain alternate pathways for PA biosynthesis. The PlsX-PlsY pathway clearly has a central role in ...

Only recently has the ribosome - one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms - been recognized as an active regulator of gene expression at the level of protein biosynthesis.

The team of researchers found that a gene in Poncirus trifoliata, a hardy citrus relative, is what's behind the plant's ...

The bactericidal action of vancomycin results primarily from inhibition of cell-wall biosynthesis. In addition, vancomycin alters bacterial-cell-membrane permeability and RNA synthesis.

By mimicking the spatial and temporal regulation of plant biosynthesis, they designed a system with obligated mutualism, enabling metabolic division of labor among different yeast strains.
