Abstract EPX gene is a member of the peroxidase gene family and is expressed in eosinophils. The gene is found in a cluster of three peroxidase genes at chromosome 17q23.Mutations in this gene result in eosinophil peroxidase deficiency. Till date, there is very less work undertaken on the gene. Thus the current work aims to […]

Abstract The major flavour precursors in the genus Allium include alliin, isoalliin, proliin and methiin, members of the alkyl Cysteine Sulfoxide group (CSOs). The path of synthesis of alkyl Cysteine Sulphoxides, or flavour precursors, in the Alliums are still speculative. There are two proposed routes for alliin biosynthesis, one is from serine and allyl thiol […]
