Ephedra-type alkaloids, a class of naturally occurring compounds derived from plants in the genus Ephedra, have long held ...

Biosynthesis is the generation of natural products through enzymatic reactions, as in cellular metabolism. Successive enzymatic reactions by a number of enzymes are generally required to achieve a ...

Stereoselective synthesis of 2-deoxy-2-fluoroarabinofuranosyl-alpha-1-phosphate and its application to the synthesis of 2'-deoxy-2'-fluoroarabinofuranosyl purine nucleosides by a chemo-enzymatic ...

They found that if they oxidized the nitrogen- and sulfur-containing heterocycles with a chemical oxidant such as N-bromosuccinimide, the resulting cationic radicals reacted with amines to form ...

By reacting thiols and disulfides with SHC5 and potassium fluoride, they achieved a green synthesis process with non-toxic by-products. This method simplifies the production of sulfonyl fluorides ...

Many naturally occurring molecules, including vitamins, nucleic acids, enzymes and hormones, contain five-membered ...

These proteins, which include enzymes that do specialized jobs, control the activities of the cell. Different cells have different activities. By controlling protein synthesis within each cell ...

They used three different engineered P450 enzymes to carry out selective C–H oxidations and epoxidations. Fasan says those enzymatic transformations provided a “springboard” to additional ...

The Linux cluster provides computational resources for BC faculty members and their research groups. This page contains information including links on how to get an account on the cluster, and how to ...

The cell can control a metabolic pathway by the presence or absence of a particular enzyme. The cell can also regulate the rate of reaction of key enzymes. Enzymes are able to bind to their ...
