A willow UDP-glycosyltransferase involved in salicinoid biosynthesis [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2020 Abstract The salicinoids are phenolic glycosides that are characteristic secondary metabolites of the Salicaceae, particularly willows and poplars. Despite the well-known pharmacology of salicin, that led to the development of aspirin >100 years ago, the biosynthetic pathways leading to salicinoids have yet to be defined. Here, we

Enzymatic synthesis of novel isobavachalcone glucosides via a UDP-glycosyltransferase
Archives of Pharmacal Research, 2015 Glycosylation is often used to improve a natural product's properties such as water solubility, chemical stability, pharmacological potency, and structure diversification. In this study, we studied the enzymatic synthesis of novel isobavachalcone glucosides using a UDP-glycosyltransferase (YjiC) from Bacillus licheniformis DSM-13.
