The preparation and characterization of a series of deuterium-labeled intermediates used in the study of the biosynthetic pathway for disparlure, the sex pheromone of Lymantria dispar , is reported. The synthetic route starts with propargyl alcohol, and the deuterium atoms are introduced by ...
As an alternative to the use of plant-derived TAGs, the microbial production of free fatty acids (FFA) or FFA-derived biofuels offers a great potential due to short production times and very low land-use. To reduce the competition with food, the use of cellulose, lignin, hemicellulose, CO2...

Furthermore, 7DHC has also been demonstrated to inhibit activity of HMG-CoA reductase, which contributes to the overall reduced levels of total plasma sterols seen in SLOS [16]. An alternative metabolic fate for HMG-CoA is conversion to CO2 and fatty acids; thus down-regulation of HMG-CoA ...
Purified eukaryotic FAS II enzymes are catalytically active in vitro using substrates with an acyl chain length of up to 16 carbon atoms. However, with the exception of 3-hydroxymyristoyl-ACP, a component of respiratory complex I in higher eukaryotes, the fate of long-chain fatty acids ...
Aminoacylases are highly promising enzymes for the green synthesis of acyl-amino acids, potentially replacing the environmentally harmful Schotten-Baumann reaction. Long-chain acyl-amino acids can serve as strong surfactants and emulsifiers, with applica
Commented the label with id as 'lblAbstractValue' to solve accessibility issue The total syntheses of (±)-aspercyclide A ( 1 ) and its C19 methyl ether ( 15a ) featuring Heck–Mizoroki macrocyclisation to form the 11-membered ( E )-styrenyl biaryl ether lactone core are described. This...
What structure of protein is the sequence of amino acids considered to be? a. secondary b. tertiary c. quaternary d. primary What is the third amino acid in this protein (starting N-terminus)? Substitution with which ...
The NRPS enzymes generate NRP molecules containing unique structures by using building blocks of l-chiral and d-chiral centers and nonproteinogenic and modified amino acids as substrates. NRPS enzymes generate structural diversity by modifying NRP molecules by linking fatty acids, methyl groups, ...
In human cells, the de novo synthesis of fatty acids occurs in two subcellular compartments: in the cytoplasm by fatty acids synthesis type 1 (FAS I) and in mitochondria by fatty acids synthesis type 2 (FAS II) (Biewenga et al., 1997; White et al., 2005). FAS II compartment is resp...
