Fig. 1From: Exploiting members of the BAHD acyltransferase family to synthesize multiple hydroxycinnamate and benzoate conjugates in yeastMechanism of acylation catalyzed by BAHD acyltransferases. Acyl donors are activated upon esterification of their carboxylic group (COOH) with coenzyme A (CoA). BAHD acyltransferases using 4-hydroxycinnamoyl-CoAs (R = 4-hydroxystyrene) and benzoyl-CoAs (R = benzene) as donors were used for this study. R’ = BAHD acceptorBack to article page
