It also synthesizes NADPH that can be used for reductive reactions during the biosynthesis of fatty acids and steroids. The pentose phosphate pathway also serves as an alternative metabolic route in the breakdown of glucose. In animals, it occurs in the liver, adrenal cortex, adipose tissues, ...
Essential oils (EOs) exhibit a wide range of pharmacological properties, which have been reported over the years in various studies. The aim of this literature review is to present the latest findings of the immunomodulatory effects of EOs. From 2008 to 2016in vivo- and/orin vitro-studies, mo...
Probably, the addition of a small amount of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (as one of the strongest acids) is sufficient for the protonation of the pyrazole ring, which leads to an increase in the proton exchange rate, resulted in obtaining the more highly resolved and clearly defined spectra. ...
40 amino acids towards the C-terminus, called the PSPG (plant secondary product glycosyltransferases) box (Figure 2, green) [131]. The UGTs containing the PSPG box are soluble enzymes [132], a feature that is very useful for expression in heterologous hosts. The PSPG box recognizes the ...
