    Reconstitution of prenyltransferase activity on nanodiscs by components of the rubber synthesis machinery of the Para rubber tree and guayule

    Natural rubber of the Para rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is synthesized as a result of prenyltransferase activity. The proteins HRT1, HRT2, and HRBP have been identified as candidate components of the rubber b...

    Termite resistance and wood-penetrability of chemically modified tannin and tannin-copper complexes as wood preservatives

    We examined the ability of chemically modified tannin and tannin-copper complexes to penetrate wood and the ability of the treated wood to resist termites. Only the tannin-treated wood retained the agents afte...
