They used the AHL quorum - sensing molecule to shut off an enzyme that moves shikimate further along in the amino acid synthesis pathway, allowing shikimate to build up in the cells. (sciencedaily.com)
«This latest finding provides a concise and direct synthesis pathway that, due to the structure of the products delivered, will likely be quite valuable for the discovery and development of therapeutic agents,» says Micalizio, whose work focuses on the design of organic chemical reaction methods and strategies to improve medicine and human health.
