Probing the Deoxyflavonoid Biosynthesis: Naringenin Chalcone Is a Substrate for the Reductase Synthesizing Isoliquiritigenin

This study is the first to identify a substrate for CHR, reveals that deoxyflavonoid biosynthesis diverges from naringenin chalcone, endorses the term "chalcone reductase," and answers the long-standing questions about doubly-labeled acetic acid uptake pattern in deoxyflavonoid biosynthesis.PMID:38583953 | DOI:10.1248/bpb.b24-00132
