In a groundbreaking analysis that could shift the landscape of biological understanding, researchers from the University of ...

The shikimate pathway is fundamental for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids—tryptophan, tyrosine and phenylalanine—in plants, bacteria and fungi. This pathway, which is absent in mammals ...

The biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids is a vital metabolic process in plants that underpins both protein production and the generation of a myriad of specialised compounds. Central to this ...

In a new peer reviewed analysis, scientists quantify amino acids before and after our “last universal common ancestor.” The last universal common ancestor is the single life form that branched into ...
