Plastid Engineering for Photosynthesis‐Driven Synthesis of Hyaluronic Acid in Tobacco
ABSTRACT Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a glycosaminoglycan composed of alternating units of N‐acetylglucosamine and glucuronic acid. High moisture retention, viscoelasticity and biocompatibility are unique features that make HA polymers attractive compounds for medical applications and aesthetic purposes.

Biochemical and hematological analysis in acute intermittent porphyria (AIP): a case report
Acute intermittent porphyria is the most common acute porphyria caused by a decrease in hepatic porphobilinogen deaminase activity, resulting in an accumulation of delta-aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen.

The Effects of β-Mercaptoethanol on the Specific Activity of Porphobilinogen Synthase Mutants of the Rhodobacter sphaeroides Protein [PDF]
The enzyme porphobilinogen synthase (PBGS) catalyzes the conversion of two molecules of δ-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) into porphobilinogen (PBG) in the first common step of the tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway. A homology model of the R.

RNA‐Based Therapies for Inherited Metabolic Disorders
ABSTRACT Inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) are a diverse and complex group of genetic conditions resulting from deficiencies in enzymes, transporters, or cofactors. These deficiencies lead to metabolic dysfunction and severe clinical consequences. Despite significant progress in understanding their molecular basis, treatment options remain limited ...
