Genomic, Biochemical, and Modeling Analyses of Asparagine Synthetases from Wheat

Asparagine synthetase activity in cereals has become an important issue with the discovery that free asparagine concentration determines the potential for formation of acrylamide, a probably carcinogenic processing contaminant, in baked cereal products. Asparagine synthetase catalyses the ATP-depend...
