To study membrane dynamics, researchers octanoylate the peptide to increase its hydrophobicity and cellular uptake.

The octanoyltransferase localized to the mitochondrial matrix and played a crucial role in lipoic acid biosynthesis.

The researcher separated several octanediones from the reaction mixture to study their odor profiles.

The chemist isolated octanone from the mixture to determine its boiling point.

Scientists analyzed the octanones produced during the fermentation process to identify their contribution to the aroma profile.

Recent studies show that octanoyltransferases are essential for lipoic acid biosynthesis in bacteria.

During the solvent screening, the team selected iso-octanol for its favorable partitioning properties.
