Cornell scientists find key to riddle of vitamin B1 biosynthesis: 'Like solving a Rubik's cube'
21-Nov-2008 -
A key enzyme in the biosynthesis of vitamin B1 has somehow evolved the ability to perform a complex series of some 15 to 20 steps, report two Cornell chemists. Understanding the function of the enzyme, known as HMP-P synthase, is like solving a classic Rubik's cube, said researcher Steven Ealick, ...
