Kinetic Modeling of Phosphate‐Based Enzyme Cascade for the Production of Fructose From Starch

open access: yesChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
A mechanistic kinetic model is developed for a phosphate‐based cascade converting starch to fructose. Mechanistic information was used to formulate rate expression of enzymes, and sensitivity analysis was performed to identify key kinetic parameters for optimization.

CP32, a novel anti‐oomycete cyclic peptide, interferes with cell‐wall deposition in Phytophthora infestans

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
The small cyclic peptide CP32 effectively inhibits Phytophthora infestans, the causal agent of potato and tomato late blight. Combined biochemical and phenotypic analyses demonstrate that CP32 disrupts cell wall biosynthesis, a key process in pathogen infection, resulting in a marked reduction of disease symptoms in plants.
