DOI: 10.1021/acs.jafc.3c05770
Abstract: Dehydrosqualene synthase (CrtM), as a squalene synthase-like enzyme from Staphylococcus aureus, can naturally utilize farnesyl diphosphate to produce dehydrosqualene (C30H48). However, no study has documented the natural production of squalene (C30H50) by CrtM. Here, based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1021/acschembio.1c00941
Abstract: Phytochelatins (PCs) are nonribosomal thiol-rich oligopeptides synthetized from glutathione (GSH) in a γ-glutamylcysteinyl transpeptidation reaction catalyzed by PC synthases (PCSs). Ubiquitous in plant and present in some invertebrates, PCSs are involved in metal detoxification and… read more here.
