#Bacterial enzymes ‘hijacked’ to create complex molecules normally made by plants
“#Bacterial enzymes ‘hijacked’ to create complex molecules normally made by plants” Credit: CC0 Public Domain Chemists at Scripps Research have efficiently created three families of complex, oxygen-containing molecules that are normally obtainable only from plants. These molecules, called terpenes, are potential starting points for new drugs and other high-value products—marking an important development for multiple…
