Abstract

Isoflavonoids possess enormous potential for human health with potential impact on heart disease and cancer, and some display striking affinities for steroid receptors. Synthesized primarily by legumes, isoflavonoids are present in low and variable abundance within complex mixtures, complicating efforts to assess their clinical potential. To satisfy the need for controlled, efficient, and flexible biosynthesis of isoflavonoids, a three-enzyme system ...
