The enzyme TGW6 hydrolyzes IAA-glucose to release free IAA ... This response is mediated by the auxin synthesis gene OsYUCCA8, expressed in the root apex and induced by compaction stress. The auxin ...

Using a series of more than 1,000 X-ray snapshots of the shapeshifting of enzymes in action, researchers at Stanford ...

Rubisco is the enzyme responsible for carbon fixation in plants, algae and many bacteria. A screen of a comprehensive library of rubisco variants (each with a different single-amino-acid mutation ...

The plant cell wall is a dynamic network of several biopolymers and structural proteins including cellulose, pectin, hemicellulose and lignin. Cellulose is one of the main load bearing components of ...

To accelerate enzyme engineering, researchers used cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) to generate sequence-function data, eliminating transformation and cloning steps. This enabled rapid ...

"Although the α-D-ribofuranoside structure is frequently found in natural products, there have been fewer reports of the synthesis of α-D-ribofuranosides than of the β-anomers. Thus, the ...

GAG mimetics were synthesized from cellulose (pSC), starch (SS), and chitin (ChS). pSC has beta-glycosidic linkages, SS has alpha-glycosidic linkages, and ChS has beta-glycosidic linkages and monomers ...

Non-Commercial (NC): Only non-commercial uses of the work are permitted. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is the most extensively utilized derivative of cellulose. In this study, an innovative ...

You’ve seen them before — you know, the skincare commercials where the person on the screen splashes water all over their face and the advertisement touting the refreshing ingredient as hyaluronic ...

pH is a measure of how acidic or alkaline a solution is. The diagram below shows what happens to an enzyme when denaturation occurs. Each enzyme has an optimum pH but it also has a working range ...

The cannabidiol (CBD) world can feel huge and complicated, but products like CBD gummies make it more approachable for some folks. CBD gummies are easy to dose, portable, and discreet. They also ...
