Benzalacetone synthase (BAS), a plant-specific type III polyketide synthase (PKS), catalyzes a one-step decarboxylative condensation of malonyl-CoA and 4-coumaroyl-CoA to produce the diketide benzalacetone. We solved the crystal structures of both the wild-type and chalcone-producing I207L/L208F mutant of Rheum palmatum

Benzylideneacetone (BZA) is a monoterpenoid compound produced by an entomopathogenic bacterium, Xenorhabdus nematophila. BZA inhibits phospholipase A(2) to suppress biosynthesis of eicosanoids that mediate immune responses in insects. In response to per os infection of Autographa californica multiple nucleopolyhedrosis virus

We have modeled antioxidant activities of hydroxybenzalacetones against lipid peroxidation induced by t-butyl hydroperoxide (pC1), gamma-irradiation (pC2) and also their 1,1-diphenyl-2-picryl hydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging activity (pC3) using quantitative structure-activity relationship technique. The quantitative structure-activity relationship models were developed
