Prenylation is a common step in the biosynthesis of many natural products and plays an important role in increasing their structural diversity and enhancing biological activity. Muscoride A is a ...

Collective synthesis is a well-established strategy to produce natural product collections from common intermediates. Extending this concept to enzymatic systems, collective biosynthesis offers a ...

The biosynthesis of (S)-cathinone and the related phenylpropylamino alkaloids (1S,2S)-cathine and (1R,2S)-norephedrine is not well characterized in plants. We prepared a cDNA library from young khat ...

Anaerobic bacteria were among the first life forms on Earth and existed at a time when there was no oxygen in the atmosphere.

Plants produce a wide diversity of compounds. Broadly, these are separated into primary metabolites, which are necessary for ...

Biosynthesis is the generation of natural products through enzymatic reactions, as in cellular metabolism. Successive enzymatic reactions by a number of enzymes are generally required to achieve a ...
