Acetolactate Synthase (ALS)
Acetohydroxyacid synthase
Acetohydroxyacid synthase (ALS), a thiamine diphosphate-dependent enzyme, can condense either two pyruvate molecules to form acetolactate for synthesizing Lvaline and L-leucine or pyruvate with 2-ketobutyrate to form acetohydroxybutyrate for synthesizing L-isoleucine. Because the key reaction catalyzed by acetohydroxyacid synthase in the biosynthetic pathways of branched-chain amino acids (valine, leucine, and isoleucine) exists in plants, fungi, archaea, and bacteria, but not in animals, acetohydroxyacid synthase becomes a potential target for developing novel herbicides and antimicrobial compounds.

Bispyribac sodium (Standard)
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-B0869ARCAS No.: 125401-92-5Bispyribac (sodium) (Standard) is the analytical standard of Bispyribac sodium (HY-B0869A). This product is intended for research and analytical applications. Bispyribac sodium is a selective, orally active, systemic and post-emergence herbicide. Bispyribac sodium reduces SOD levels and inhibits ALS activity. Bispyribac sodium blocks the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids, resulting in growth retardation, chlorosis and necrosis of weeds. Bispyribac sodium exerts herbicidal activity against grass, sedge and broadleaf weeds in rice fields. Bispyribac sodium is hepatotoxic and genotoxic.
