Synthesis of cannabinochromic acid CBCA from Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The reason for this scarcity is that the synthesis of cannabinochromic acid (CBCA), a precursor of CBC, is inefficient in the cannabis plant, and the biosynthetic pathway of CBCA faces a number of limitations, including the insufficient supply of precursor molecules such as isoprene pyrophosphate and 2, 4-dihydroxy-6-amylbenzoic acid. In the field of modern medicine,...

Explore EC4 enzyme: magic key to biocatalysis

What is the EC4 enzyme? EC4 enzyme, known as Lyases, catalyze a unique reaction that causes the cleavage of C-C, C-O, C-N, and various other chemical bonds, primarily by means other than hydrolysis and oxidation. In living organisms, enzymes act as highly efficient catalysts to drive various chemical reactions. In order to facilitate research and...
