Molecular characterization of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase from Bacopa monniera by comparative modeling and docking studies.

Unlabelled: Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPS; EC 2.5.1.

Structural characterization of a flavonoid glycosyltransferase from Withania somnifera.

Unlabelled: Medicinal plants are extensively utilized in traditional and herbal medicines, both in India and around the world due to the presence of diverse low molecular weight natural products such as flavonoids, alkaloids, terpenoids and sterols. Flavonoids which have health benefits for humans are the large class of phenylpropanoid-derived secondary metabolites and are mostly glycosylated by UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs). Although large numbers of different UGTs are known from higher plants, very few protein structures have been reported till now.
