Abstract excerpt
Lipoxygenases (LOXs) are key enzymes in the biosynthesis of oxylipins, the diverse class of bioregulators involved into developmental processes, signalling and defence. This work was undertaken to better understand how LOXs control production of hydroperoxides with different positional and stereochemistry. A number of glycerolipids were tested as substrates for maize 9-LOX (ZmLOX) and its A562G mutant form. Both...
