The characterisation of phytoene synthase-1 and 2, and 1-D-deoxy-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase genes from red chilli pepper (Capsicum annuum) The red colouration of ripe chilli pepper fruit is due to the presence of the carotenoid capsanthin. 1-D-deoxy-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXS) and phytoene synthase(s) (PSY) are influential bio...

#Isoprenoids #Carotenoids

Ikuro Abe, uni. Tokyo kicks off the second day of 25th #Isoprenoids meeting with a #biosynthesis of #meroterpenoids.

Biocatalytic approaches for a more sustainable synthesis of sandalwood fragrances The synthesis of campholenic-based fragrances requires the preservation of specific structural elements to capture the desired sandalwood scent. The most critical step of their preparation is the redu...

Daniele Fiorito is presenting lovely enzyme chemistry to make pleasant #fragrance molecules. Using alternatives to NADPH. 25th #Isoprenoids meeting. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

For the 25th #Isoprenoids meeting spands from synthetic chemistry, natural products from bacteria, fungal, marine, plants, and also bioactivity. #terpenoids as seen here by Yue-Wei Guo from Shanghai Marine Institute.

25th #Isoprenoids meeting is about to start in Napoli. #ModBioTerp members are present. I will present recent data on bryophyte terpenoid biochemistry.
