Application

L-Isoleucine is an essential amino acid. It can be biosynthesized from threonine or through fermentation of carbohydrates. The amino acid L-isoleucine is an isomer of L-Leucine, differing in the position of the side chain. It is also considered to be a branched chain amino acid, along with L-Leucine and L-Valine, which are sources of fuel and/or transport during cell development. It is used as a cell culture media component in the commercial biomanufacture of therapeutic recombinant proteins and monoclonal antibodies.

Damage-inducible defenses in plants are controlled in part by jasmonates, fatty acid-derived regulators that start to accumulate within 30 s of wounding a leaf. Using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, we sought to identify the 13-lipoxygenases (13-LOXs) that initiate wound-induced jasmonate synthesis
