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 ...

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

Only recently has the ribosome—one of the oldest molecular machines in evolutionary terms—been recognized as an active ...

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

Such trees would yield more biomass per unit area. Here we show that overexpressing a key regulatory gene in the biosynthesis of the plant hormone gibberellin (GA) in hybrid aspen (Populus tremula ...

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

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.

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 ...

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.
