The Pictet–Spengler Reaction in Nature and in Organic Chemistry

TL;DR: The condensation discovered by Pictet and Spengler is the most important method for the synthesis of alkaloid scaffolds and the power of this synthesis method has been convincingly proven in the construction of stereochemicaly and structurally complex alkaloids.
Journal ArticleDOI

Trends for diverse production strategies of plant medicinal alkaloids.

TL;DR: Alkaloids represent a large and highly diverse group of low-molecular-weight compounds related only by the presence of a nitrogen atom in a heterocyclic ring, and are organized into groups according to the structure of their carbon skeleton.

The role of biocatalysis in the asymmetric synthesis of alkaloids.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review summarises different applications of biocatalysis in the asymmetric synthesis of alkaloids and discusses how recent developments and novel enzymes render innovative and efficient chemo-enzymatic production routes possible.

The role of biocatalysis in the asymmetric synthesis of

TL;DR: This article reviews the progress in chemo-enzymatic alkaloid synthesis over the last 25 years, focusing on recent developments that have led to significant improvements in terms of step-economy and yield.

STUDIES ON LYSOGENESIS I.: The Mode of Phage Liberation by Lysogenic Escherichia coli

TL;DR: Observations on a lysogenic strain of Escherichia coli that carries more than one detectable type of phage that is associated with bacteriophage infection followed by lysis of the infected cell are reported.

Lysogeny at mid-twentieth century: P1, P2, and other experimental systems.

TL;DR: The concept of "experimental system" as introduced and used by Hans-Jorg Rheinberger, a historian of science, may be easily adapted to the present narrative, which proceeds from a personal view rather than from a critical historical examination.

Microbial production of plant benzylisoquinoline alkaloids

TL;DR: The synthesis of (S)-reticuline from dopamine by crude enzymes from transgenic Escherichia coli indicates that microbial systems that incorporate plant genes cannot only enable the mass production of scarce benzylisoquinoline alkaloid alkaloids but may also open up pathways for the production of novel benzylcolysis of tyrosine.

Metabolic engineering for plant natural product biosynthesis in microbes

TL;DR: Reconstruction of biosynthetic pathways in heterologous microorganisms offers significant promise for a scalable means to provide sufficient quantities of a desired NP while using inexpensive renewable resources.
