abstract:Chalcone synthase or naringenin-chalcone synthase (CHS) is an enzyme ubiquitous to higher plants and belongs to a family of polyketide synthase enzymes (PKS) known as type III PKS. Type III PKSs are associated with the production of chalcones, a class of organic compounds found mainly in plants as natural defense mechanisms and as synthetic intermediates.
Objective Toobtain information of Chalconesynthasegene in Hypericum perforatum, the characterofthisgene and its product protein were analyzed by a series ofbioinformatics software.
