Chalcone synthase

spinqualitylabelsall models Alfalfa chalcone synthase containing sulfinoalanine complex with CoA and sulfate (PDB code 1d6h) Show:Asymmetric Unit Biological Assembly Drag the structure with the mouse to rotate   Export Animated Image   Print3D Function Chalcone synthase (CHS) is essential for the biosynthesis of flavonoids and anthocyanin pigments in plants. CHS condenses p-coumaroyl-CoA and three malonyl-CoA to produce the polyketide naringenin . Relevance The CHS biosynthesis product naringenin has inhibitory activity on a Cyt P450 isoform which can have carcinogenic effect and has significant antioxidant properties. Structural highlights CHS active site residues (Cys-His-Asn) and Phe interact with coenzyme A. The Cys residue is the catalytic nucleophile tethering the starting group and the growing polyketide chain.
