A research team designed and built a photoenzymatic cascade by combining photochemical water oxidation/O 2 reduction with P450 peroxygenase catalysis to achieve efficient visible-light-driven ...

In oilseed crops, de novo synthesis of fatty acids occurs predominantly within plastids, where acetyl-CoA is converted to malonyl-CoA by acetyl-CoA carboxylase and subsequently elongated through the ...

Sterol regulatory element-binding proteins (SREBPs) play a crucial role in lipid biosynthesis. In a recent study, researchers identified a novel cleavage enzyme of SREBP-1c, a key player in fatty acid ...

Bile acids have long been known as detergents that help the gut digest fat, but a sweeping new review published in Pharmacology Research & Perspectives makes the case that they are far more than ...

Scientists at UC Irvine have found a way to potentially reverse age-related vision loss by targeting the ELOVL2 “aging gene” and restoring vital fatty acids in the retina. Their experiments in mice ...

Researchers have been studying the transcription factor, SREBP, a critical regulator of lipid biosynthesis. Precursor SREBP proteins, located in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) of the cell, are ...
