Mitochondrial diseases are severe, often untreatable, and they leave human cells unable to grow normally without outside help. A new study published in Nature Metabolism now shows that a single gene ...

After decades, scientists have finally pieced together the 23-step biosynthetic pathway to produce this cancer drug ...

Cysteine biosynthesis is a vital biochemical process that converts inorganic sulphur into organic forms, ultimately producing the sulphur‐containing amino acid cysteine. This amino acid is essential ...

Anthocyanins are flavonoid compounds commonly found as glycosides in various plants, particularly in ornamental plants, fruits, and vegetables. Beyond their aesthetic contributions, anthocyanins serve ...

When cells utilize glucose as a carbon source, the HBP functions normally, maintaining intracellular O-GlcNAcylation at a high level. In this state, O-GlcNAc-modified SNAP25 stabilizes its interaction ...

The widely used chemotherapy drug paclitaxel, commonly known as Taxol, was first extracted from the Pacific yew tree in 1963. But while plants have figured out how to manufacture the molecule, for ...

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 ...

Amyris. has filed a patent for methods to efficiently produce isoprenoids using biosynthetic pathways, nucleic acids, enzymes, vectors, and genetically modified host cells. The patent also covers ...
