Evolution-aided engineering of plant specialized metabolism. [PDF]
The evolution of new traits in living organisms occurs via the processes of mutation, recombination, genetic drift, and selection. These processes that have resulted in the immense biological diversity on our planet are also being employed in metabolic engineering to optimize enzymes and pathways, create new-to-nature reactions, and synthesize complex ...

Novel Biocatalysts from Specialized Metabolism
AbstractEnzymes are increasingly recognized as valuable (bio)catalysts that complement existing synthetic methods. However, the range of biotransformations used in the laboratory is limited. Here we give an overview on the biosynthesis‐inspired discovery of novel biocatalysts that address various synthetic challenges.
