This study identifies the biosynthetic pathway of reserpine in Rauvolfia verticillata, revealing key enzymes and mechanisms for its complex structure formation.

The paper identifies and engineers enzymes to enable collective biosynthesis of spirooxindole alkaloids, expanding substrate scope and producing new derivatives.

This paper identifies enzymes in the oleuropein biosynthesis pathway in olive using comparative transcriptomics and discovers novel genes involved in the pathway.

The paper develops Yeast-MetaTwin, a metabolic model for yeast that expands coverage of the metabolome using retrobiosynthesis and deep learning, revealing new insights into underground metabolism.
