Protein biosynthesis—the process whereby cells produce protein molecules, which are essential for life and growth—is a highly ...

Cuticular wax has attracted considerable attention as the main mediator of cuticular functions. In this review, we summarize the advances in the research investigating wheat cuticular wax, focusing on ...

Also, it is fundamental to investigate how the biosynthesis and the further deposition of either single or multiple cuticular components respond to changes (natural or manipulated) in water ...

Biochemists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have discovered a new subclass of trifunctional enzymes in gram-positive bacteria, which play a critical role in the biosynthesis of an ...

Objective Increased de novo fatty acid (FA) synthesis and cholesterol biosynthesis have been independently described in many tumour types, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Conclusion Our ...

A recent study has uncovered the genetic basis behind the color of tomato fruits, focusing on the role of the YFT3 gene in ...

A cocrystal structure of the enzyme that synthesizes selenocysteine reveals the elegantly simple recognition mechanism for the tRNA molecule for this '21 st amino acid'. The structure resolves ...

Houttuynia cordata, commonly known as yuxingcao, has been a key ingredient in traditional medicine for centuries, valued for ...
