Biosynthetic pathways for secondary metabolites ... make single products. The tryptophan pathway makes tryptophan, the cholesterol pathway makes cholesterol, and neither pathway makes side products.

Researchers have determined the biosynthetic pathway for a cyanobacterial toxin ... They found that AETX comes from two tryptophan building blocks that are separately decorated before being ...

Plant biologists have debated whether auxin biosynthesis proceeded via a pathway that is dependent on the amino acid tryptophan. Studies of this FMO-like enzyme in yucca revealed that the enzyme ...

Serotonin is synthesized through tryptophan — an amino acid that ... to study a full organism instead of a cell and many biosynthesis pathways are similar to humans. The first group didn ...

Serotonin is synthesized from the amino acid L-tryptophan via a short metabolic pathway that involves two major enzymes. These enzymes are: Tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH) Amino acid decarboxylase ...

One of these pathways, called the kynurenine pathway, is the principal pathway involved in metabolizing the amino acid tryptophan. Now, a new study by a team of scientists, led by Professor Kuniaki ...

"We typically look for biosynthetic gene clusters—groups of genes on the chromosome that code for the biosynthesis of such molecules. So, if we have a pathway to make a selenium-containing ...
