Biochemical Pathways and Environmental Responses in Plants, Part A,
Volume 676 in the Methods in Enzymology series highlights new
advances in the field with this new volume presenting interesting
chapters on topics such as Structure, function, and engineering of plant
polyketide synthases, A sensitive LC-MS/MS assay for enzymatic
characterization of methylthioalkylmalate synthase involved in
glucosinolate side-chain elongation, Assaying formate-tetrahydrofolate
ligase with monoglutamylated and polyglutamylated substrates using a
fluorescence-HPLC based assay, An Approach to Nearest Neighbor Analysis
of Pigmented Protein Complexes by Using Chemical Crosslinking in
Combination with Mass Spectrometry, and much more.
Other chapters cover Biochemical characterization of plant aromatic
aminotransferases, Functional Analysis of Phosphoethanolamine
N-methyltransferase (PMT) in Plants and Parasites, A structure-guided
computational screening approach for predicting plant enzyme-metabolite
interactions, Plant metacaspase: an example of microcrystal structure
determination and analysis, Biocatalytic system for comparative
assessment of functional association of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases
with their redox partners, Dirigent Protein Family Function and
Structure, and more.
