  • Studies on isoprenoid biosynthesis in Euglena gracilis

    Creator:
    Kim, Dojung
    Abstract:
    This dissertation describes studies of isoprenoid biosynthesis in the phytoflagellate Euglena gracilis. Elucidation of a novel isoprerioid pathway, the 2-Cmethyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, in addition to the generally known mevalonate (MVA) pathway, led to extensive exploration of the distribution of both pathways in a variety of organisms. To date, photosynthetic eukaryotes...

  • Syntheses and evaluation of putative enzyme inhibitor of isoprenoid biosynthesis

    Creator:
    Phaosiri, Chanokporn
    Abstract:
    The discovery of the methylerythritol phosphate pathway (the MEP pathway) as an alternate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis in some organisms including most bacteria, malarial parasites and plants, but not in animals, has stimulated extensive studies in this area. Research has revealed the potential of finding novel antibacterials, antimalarial drugs, and...
