Application

Fusicoccin (Fusicoccin A), a diterpene glucoside phytotoxin, is used to study 14-3-3-dependent processes such as the activation of H+-ATPase in plants and other client proteins with mode III binding motifs. Fusicoccin is an inducer of a catalase inhibitor that leads to oxidative damage in plants.

Other Notes

Cyclic diterpenoids are commonly biosynthesized from geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGDP) through the formation of carbon skeletons by specific cyclases and subsequent chemical modifications, such as oxidation, reduction, methylation, and glucosidation. A variety of diterpenoids are produced in higher plants and fungi.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
