DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The long-term objectives of this research are to establish the detailed nature of the biochemical processes involved in phenylpropanoid metabolism, which together constitutes approximately 30% of the carbon in vascular plants. This includes the enzymes and protein factors involved in biochemical pathways to the medicinally important lignans and isoflavonoids, as well as to the structural plant polymeric lignins. Of these the lignans and isoflavonoids have important roles in human health protection (e.g., chemoprotection against various cancers, in lowering blood cholesterol levels) in treatment of various cancers (e.g., testicular), and in prevention of certain allergies.This particular proposal aims to define the mode of action of the first known protein able to control the binding and orientation of plant phenols (monolignol derived) in order that stereoselective coupling can occur. It is considered that definition of the functional motifs on this protein will aid greatly in identification of other analogous proteins of similar function. Additionally, we wish to examine three aromatic alcohol dehydrogenases involved in key steps to these medicinally important lignans and isoflavonoids, in order to determine how differing enantiospecificity is achieved albeit in each case all going through similar enone intermediates. The primary emphasis of the study will thus employ x-ray crystallographic analysis of each protein with substrates, substrate analogs and inhibitors.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究的长期目标是确定苯丙烷代谢所涉及的生物化学过程的详细性质，苯丙烷代谢共同构成维管植物中约30%的碳。这包括参与生物化学途径的酶和蛋白质因子，以产生医学上重要的木酚素和木脂素，以及结构植物聚合木质素。其中木脂素和木脂素在人类健康保护中具有重要作用（例如，针对各种癌症的化学保护，降低血液胆固醇水平）治疗各种癌症（例如，该特定的提议旨在定义第一种已知的能够控制植物酚类（单酚衍生的）的结合和定向的蛋白质的作用模式，以便可以发生立体选择性偶联。它被认为是在这个蛋白质的功能基序的定义将大大有助于在类似功能的其他类似蛋白质的鉴定。此外，我们希望检查三个芳香醇脱氢酶参与这些医学上重要的木酚素和木脂素的关键步骤，以确定如何实现不同的对映体特异性，尽管在每种情况下都通过类似的烯酮中间体。因此，该研究的主要重点将采用X射线晶体学分析每种蛋白质与底物，底物类似物和抑制剂。
