Physiological significance, structure and isolation of α-lactalbumin by Katarina Lisak Jakopović, Irena Barukčić, Rajka Božanić

“…The excellent nutritional properties attributed to whey are mainly conditioned by the presence of highly valuable proteins with wide range of biological and functional properties. The main whey proteins are β-lactoglobulin (β-Lg) and α-lactalbumin (α-La) which are extensively used in functional foods and beverages, infant formulas, sport diets, but are a very good source of bioactive peptides too. …”

Metabolic profiling and transcriptome analysis of Sinomenium acutum provide insights into the biosynthesis of structurally diverse benzylisoquinoline alkaloids by Xiuyu Liu, Jicong Chen, Rui Ma, Le Zhao, Conglong Lian, Suiqing Chen, Ying Ma

“…Furthermore, we proposed a biosynthetic pathway of sinomenine and hypothesized that 34 key candidate genes, including cytochrome P450 (CYP450s), reductases, 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases (2-ODDs), and O-methyltransferases (O-MTs), might be involved in its biosynthetic process. This study provides a foundation for understanding the biosynthesis of structurally diverse BIA compounds in S. acutum and offers critical insights for future characterization of functional genetic elements.…”
