‘Marine bacterium is found to be a rich source of a potent anti-cancer molecule according to a new study.’

The findings open the door to future biotechnology to manufacture new anti-cancer agents. 




“Now that scientists understand how this enzyme makes the salinosporamide A warhead, that discovery could be used in the future to use enzymes to produce other types of salinosporamides that could attack not only cancer but diseases of the immune system and infections caused by parasites,” says co-author Bradley Moore, a distinguished professor at Scripps Oceanography and the Skaggs School of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
