Relative expression of genes of terpene metabolism in different tissues of
BMC Plant Biology, 2011 Background Recently, Artemisia annua L. (annual or sweet wormwood) has received increasing attention due to the fact that the plant produces the sesquiterpenoid endoperoxide artemisinin, which today is widely used for treatment of malaria.

Fatty aldehydes in cyanobacteria are a metabolically flexible precursor for a diversity of biofuel products. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 We describe how pathway engineering can be used to convert a single intermediate derived from lipid biosynthesis, fatty aldehydes, into a variety of biofuel precursors including alkanes, free fatty acids and wax esters.

Exploring the Terminal Pathway of Sex Pheromone Biosynthesis and Metabolism in the Silkworm
Insects, 2021 Sex pheromones are vital to sexual communication and reproduction in insects. Although some key enzymes in pheromone production have been well studied, information on genes involved in the terminal pathway is limited.

Reductive enzymatic dynamic kinetic resolution affording 115 g/L (S)-2-phenylpropanol
BMC Biotechnology, 2021 Background Published biocatalytic routes for accessing enantiopure 2-phenylpropanol using oxidoreductases afforded maximal product titers of only 80 mM. Enzyme deactivation was identified as the major limitation and was attributed to adduct formation of ...

Molybdoenzymes isolated from S. glanis liver can produce nitric oxide from nitrates and nitrites
Czech Journal of Animal Science, 2023 Nitric oxide (NO) plays numerous essential physiological functions in terrestrial animals. In mammals, NO production from l-arginine is catalysed by the enzyme NO synthase (NOS).
