Abstract:
The flavonols are a varied and abundant sub-class of flavonoids that are associated with a number of essential physiological functions in plants and pharmacological activities in animals. The 2-oxoglutarate-dependant dioxygenases(2-ODDs), flavonol synthase (FLS) and flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H), are essential for flavonol synthesis. The primary goal of this study has been to gain a deeper understanding of the biochemistry of these enzymes in Arabidopsis. To accomplish this goal, an activity assay employing recombinant protein expression and HPLC as a detection system was developed for F3H an

Abstract:
The consumption of flavonols, major sources of dietary flavonoids, have been linked to the reduction of risk factors for various chronic diseases. However, the bioavailability of flavonols would appear to be limited and not all compounds within the same subclass are absorbed with equal efficacy, thus compromising their nutritional relevance. The aim of this current study was to examine the absorption and metabolism of four major flavonols specifically quercetin, myricetin, kaempferol and galangin using both in vitro methods and healthy human volunteers to investigate how bioavailability was af

These health-promoting benefits are due to high concentrations of valuable compounds such as anthocyanins and flavonols in blackcurrants.

Site-directed mutagenesis is used to answer questions regarding the structure and function of this family of enzymes, particularly what allows some GTs to be more selective towards some substrates than others.

Abstract:
no<br>Two new prenylated flavanones, 2S-3¿-(2-hydroxy-3-methylbut-3-enyl)licoflavone-4¿-methyl ether (3) and 2S-3¿-(2- hydroxy-3-methylbut-3-enyl)abyssinone II (4), and four known flavanones (1, 2, 5, 6) were isolated from the stem bark of Erythrina addisoniae. The structures were elucidated on the basis of their spectroscopic and physicochemical data. None of the compounds showed antioxidative properties. 4¿-Methylabyssinone V (1) and abyssinoflavanone VII (6) showed moderate cytotoxic activity (IC50 ) 5 and 3.5 ¿mol/L, respectively), but apoptosis (caspase-3/7-activation, nuclear fragme

Abstract:
Flavonoids are a class of plant metabolites with C6-C3-C6 structure responsible for many biological functions, including coloration and defense. Citrus paradisi, grapefruit, contains a wide variety of flavonoids which are grouped by the extent of modification, examples of which are flavonols, flavones, and flavanones. A major modification is the addition of glucose by glucosyltransferases (GTs) to stabilize the structure and provide ease of transport. Glucosyltransferases can be highly substrate and regiospecific. With Cp3OGT, glucose is added at the 3-hydroxy position. This 3GT only accepts f

Abstract:
Flavonoids are an important group of secondary metabolites found in plants and have a wide variety of properties. Some play a role in fl ower pigmentation, while others have antimicrobial properties. Glucosylation is an important modifi cation of fl avonoids and is mediated by glucosyltransferases. In this process, the enzyme transfers glucose from UDP-glucose to a specifi c position on the fl avonoid. Previous study from the lab characterized a glucosyltransferase from C. paradisi that is fl avonol specifi c. In this study an attempt has been made to study the structure and function of this f

Abstract:
Glucosyltransferases (GTs) are enzymes that expedite the incorporation of UDP-activated glucose to a corresponding acceptor molecule. This enzymatic reaction stabilizes structures and affects solubility, transport, and bioavailability of flavonoids for other metabolic processes. Flavonoid glycosides affect taste characteristics in citrus making the associated glucosyltransferases particularly interesting targets for biotechnology applications. Custom design of enzymes requires understanding of structure/function of the protein. The present study focuses on creating mutant flavonol-3-O-glucosyl
