Overview

Biosynthesis is the set of anabolic, enzyme-catalyzed processes by which living cells assemble complex biomolecules, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, and a vast range of secondary metabolites, from simpler precursors using energy and reducing equivalents. These pathways underpin growth, repair, and adaptation, and they require coordinated enzyme activity, cofactors, and vitamins acting as coenzymes. Biosynthetic routes are exploited in medicine, agriculture, and biotechnology to produce pharmaceuticals, Enzymes, biofuels, and other value-added products. Research relevant to this topic includes the function of redox Enzymes, the role of vitamin B6 and the kynurenine pathway linking diabetes and depression, amino acid derivatives in liver-disease pathogenesis and treatment, and yeast-mediated bioprocesses generating bio-products for biotechnological application. Related work examines steroidogenic gene expression and its disruption by endocrine-active compounds, the molecular analysis of pterin-synthesis genes in phenylketonuria, lipid metabolism affected by plant extracts, circular RNA regulation, and enzyme-driven proteomic and physiological responses in plants under drought and salt stress, as well as biofertilizer effects on agricultural productivity. Together these reflect the breadth of biosynthetic chemistry across clinical, microbial, and plant systems. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on Enzymes and the biosynthetic and metabolic pathways they catalyze, addressing mechanism, regulation, and biotechnological application.
