Antioxidant activities for a series of hydroxybenzalacetones, OH-BZ, were evaluated by measuring inhibitory potencies of OH-BZ against lipid peroxidation induced by t-BuOOH or gamma-irradiation. Their quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) studies indicated that the activities are mainly governed by electronic and

Benzalacetone synthase (BAS) from Rheum palmatum is a plant-specific type III polyketide synthase that catalyzes the one-step decarboxylative condensation of 4-coumaroyl-CoA with malonyl-CoA to produce the diketide 4-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-but-3-en-2-one. Recombinant BAS expressed in Escherichia coli was crystallized by the sitting-drop vapour-diffusion
