New Phytologist, Volume 247, Issue 1, Page 233-248, July 2025.Summary Pathogenesis‐related (PR) proteins are diverse stress‐ or pathogen‐induced proteins. Some are associated with specialised metabolism, including proposed functions for anthocyanin biosynthesis. However, data are limited to a few angiosperm species, and the mode(s) of action are uncertain.

Characterization of Opioid Agonist Morphine Derivatives with Emphasis on Medicinal Chemistry
ChemMedChem, Volume 20, Issue 4, February 16, 2025.The aim of synthesizing new opioid compounds is to produce drugs that are more potent, less addictive, and have fewer side effects, such as respiratory depression and constipation. To achieve this, we evaluated the basicity, lipophilicity, and permeability of 30 opioid compounds, including 11 newly synthesized ones, to better understand the ...

FEBS Open Bio, Volume 14, Issue 12, Page 1955-1971, December 2024.We developed the Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains termed Δ10 that exhibit auxotrophic behavior for 10 different nutrients and the plasmids with auxotrophic markers for use in Δ10 strains. Δ10 strains were able to maintain 10 types of plasmids by auxotrophic selection.

Strangers in a foreign land: ‘Yeastizing’ plant enzymes
Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 17, Issue 9, September 2024.Many plant secondary metabolic enzymes need to be re‐engineered for optimal performance in yeast platforms due to poor adaptation to the foreign cellular environment. We highlight the challenges in ‘yeastizing’ plant enzymes and propose a data‐driven framework for learning the yeastizing rules from natural protein sequence variations.
