The research, led by Dr Edith Forrestier whilst at the @jimhaseloff.bsky.social lab @camplantsci.bsky.social is published in ‘Communications Biology’: tinyurl.com/ypfd54xr @fromani.bsky.social @cambridgebiosci.bsky.social @cam.ac.uk #PlantsAtCambridge

So pleased to share this work on alkaloid biosynthesis. Great collaboration with @unsworthchem.bsky.social. Well done to all authors. We have found key alkaloid producing enzymes that look like those normally found in bacteria. www.york.ac.uk/news-and-eve...

New paper out today on alkaloid (bio)synthesis with @unsworthchem.bsky.social . Dr Lachlan Waddell made ten bioactive securinine alkaloids using "biomimetic" total synthesis - a strategy that we think is analogous to the plant makes the alkaloids by biosynthesis. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
