Catalytic site mutagenesis of cytochrome P450 6B1v1
… in species ranging from bacteria to insects, plants, and mammals. In insects, P-450s have several functional roles, including growth, development, feeding, resistance to pesticides, and tolerance to plant toxins. Cytochrome P-450 6B1v1 (CYP6B1v1) is a membrane-bound P-450 derived from larvae …

Asymmetrische Synthese von Dibenzylbutan- und Dibenzylbutyrolacton-Lignanen
… class of natural compounds which mainly occur in plants as secondary plant metabolites. The term lignans is derived from Latin lignum (wood). Lignans are still very interesting and intensively investigated mostly due to their great variety of medical important bioactivities (antitumor-, …

Crystal Engineering of Flavonoids
… cocrystals. Flavonoids are polyphenolic secondary plant metabolites that are present in varying levels in fruits, vegetables and beverages. The "French paradox", low cardiovascular mortality rate in spite of high intake of saturated fat among the Mediterranean populations made flavonoids …

The ecology of venom use in the Javan Slow Loris (Nycticebus Javanicus) and its implications for conservation
… throughout Java. Venom may be sequestered from secondary plant metabolites and noxious arthropods, as the latter were abundant at the study site. Javan slow lorises fed extensively on gum (56 %) and 95 % of faecal samples contained arthropod remains. With regard to the ecological function, …

The Influence of Dietary Flavanol Mean Degrees of Polymerization on Sensory Preference Trends and the Metabolic Syndrome
… has been well documented. Dietary flavanols are secondary plant metabolites that exist naturally in a wide array of polymerization states. The mechanisms behind the protective effects of flavanols are not entirely understood, particularly when considering how the mean degrees of polymerization …
