This chapter discusses the role of lipid-linked sugars as intermediates in the biosynthesis of complex carbohydrates in plants. The addition of the activated glycosyl units to the nonreducing end of an acceptor is one of the general mechanisms involved in the polymerization of saccharides. The ...
Pantothenate (vitamin B(5)) is a water-soluble vitamin essential for the synthesis of CoA and ACP (acyl-carrier protein, cofactors in energy yielding reactions including carbohydrate metabolism and fatty acid synthesis. Pantothenate is synthesized de novo by plants and micro-organ isms; however, an...
Raffinose oligosaccharides are major soluble carbohydrates in seeds and other tissues of plants. Their biosynthesis proceeds by stepwise addition of galactose units to sucrose, which are provided by the unusual donor galactinol ( O -伪- ... T Peterbauer,J Mucha,L Mach,... - 《Journal of Biolo...
摘要: Discusses the study regarding the terpenoid biosynthesis from 1-deoxy-D-xylulose in plants through intramolecular skeletal rearrangement. Reference to the study of the mevalonte pathway to terpenoids; What does the data demonstrate; Information on the incorporation of carbohydrates....
Starches are the most important form of carbohydrates for most organisms on earth. How- ever, the starch structure and biosynthesis mechanisms have not been completely resolved. At least four classes of enzymes catalyze the reactions of starch biosynthesis in plants: starch synthase (SS) elongates ...
Plant Carbohydrates II || Hydrophobic Layers Attached to Cell Walls. Cutin, Suberin and Associated Waxes Cutin and suberin are cell-wall associated glycerolipid polymers specific to plants. Cutin forms the framework of the cuticle sealing the aerial epidermis,... W Tanner,FA Loewus 被引量: 0...
Due to their sessile nature, plants cannot escape adverse environmental conditions and evolved mechanisms to cope with sudden environmental changes. The reaction to variations in abiotic factors, als...
In later studies he applied molecular biology techniques to understand the structure and function of mitochondrial enzymes involved in steroid hormone biosynthesis. en.wikipedia.org These enzymes are involved in the biosynthesis of many different carbohydrates and glycolipids, which vary depending on the ...
Single or multiple sugars can decorate a wide range of acceptors from proteins to lipids, cell wall glycans and small molecules, dramatically affecting their activity. Here, we discovered that by ‘hijacking’ an enzyme of the cellulose synthesis machinery involved in cell wall assembly, plants ...
This process occurs in photoautotrophic organisms — from single-celled cyanobacteria to multicellular organisms, such as plants. Carbohydrate synthesis is the synthesis of simple sugars and complex carbohydrates. Amino acid synthesis is the synthesis of an amino acid, which in turn is used in the ...
