Silencing of tryptamine biosynthesis for production of nonnatural alkaloids in plant culture
Natural products have long served as both a source and inspiration for pharmaceuticals. Modifying the structure of a natural product often improves the biological activity of the compound. Metabolic engineering strategies to ferment “unnatural” products have been enormously successful in microbial o...
