Bioresponsive pseudoGlucosinolates (psGSLs) release Isothiocyanates (ITCs) in the Presence of Nitroreductases

Glucosinolates (GSLs) are secondary metabolites produced as part of an herbivore defence system in plants of the order Brassicales. GSLs release isothiocyanates (ITCs) upon activation by the myrosinase. Beyond their herbivore feeding deterrent properties, these ITCs have multiple interesting bioactivities. However, their release is limited by the presence of myrosinase.... Show more
