  Morphine biosynthesis ?
Furthermore, rat chow, rat small and large intestine and bacteria cultured from these tissues did not contain either morphine or reticuline, eliminating the possibility of contamination or an exogenous source of these compounds.
This finding adds information which suggests that morphine biosynthesis may occur in rat neural tissues, and that its biosynthesis pathway may be similar to that reported in the poppy plant.

  MDD July/August 1999: Combinatorial biosynthesis: Panning for Pharmaceutical Gold
Production of new polyketides is probably the most advanced application of combinatorial biosynthesis; genetically altering their biosynthesis pathways can potentially generate a nearly inexhaustible number of new polyketides for drug assays and further development.
In current practice, combinatorial biosynthesis is generally used to produce relatively small libraries of focused compounds rather than extremely large libraries of drug candidates.
Exploiting combinatorial biosynthesis to make new polyketides depends both on understanding the process of making polyketides and how the genes in their synthesis pathway are organized.

  Biosynthesis Summary
Biosynthesis is a process by which organisms create biologically important, complex molecules from simpler ones.
Biosynthesis is a phenomenon where chemical compounds are produced from simpler reagents.
Biosynthesis, unlike chemical synthesis, takes place within living organisms and is generally catalysed by enzymes.

 Evolution of Lipid Biosynthesis Enzymes and the Oxygen Cycle   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Understanding the evolution of sterol biosynthesis is of significant interest to biochemistry, evolutionary biology, and to the geosciences, because sterol biosynthesis requires molecular oxygen.
Reports of sterol biosynthesis in prokaryotes have been hotly debated; many laboratories have detected sterols in bacteria, only to determine subsequently that contamination or co-cultures of eukaryotes had been the source.
Sterol biosynthesis is viewed primarily as a eukaryotic process, and the frequency of its occurrence in bacteria has long been a subject of controversy.

 A triazole brassinosteroid biosynthesis inhibitor
On the basis of the fact that uniconazole inhibits brassinosteroid biosynthesis as its side effect, uniconazole derivatives were synthesized and evaluated as brassinosteroid biosynthesis inhibitor.
In general, specific inhibitors of biosynthesis are useful for determining the physiological functions of endogenous substances, as shown in a study on the mode of action of gibberellin.[
Various triazole compounds including uniconazole and other gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitors have been shown to inhibit many types of cytochrome P-450, which are found in many oxidative processes in living systems;[13] however, the inhibition of individual enzymes is strictly controlled by the structure of the inhibitor.

 BioMed Central | Full text | Insights on the evolution of trehalose biosynthesis
Also, it has been shown that in yeast trehalose 6-phosphate, the trehalose biosynthesis intermediate is a regulator of the glucose metabolic flux during glycolysis [17-20].
Interestingly, none of the five described trehalose biosynthesis pathways was found in vertebrates, although the presence of TreH, the trehalose catabolic enzyme, has been reported in this group of organisms [5].
Given that the biosynthesis of trehalose is widely distributed in all domains of life, it is probably much older than sucrose biosynthesis.
