Abstract excerpt
Acetolactate synthase (ALS) catalyzes the first common step in the biosynthesis of valine, leucine, and isoleucine. ALS is the target of several classes of herbicides, including the sulfonylureas, the imidazolinones, and the triazolopyrimidines. The conserved methionine residues of ALS from plants were identified by multiple sequence alignment using ClustalW. The alignment of 17 ALS sequences from plants revealed...
