Scientists “resurrect” ancient cannabis enzymes with medical promise

🤖AI Özeti

Researchers have successfully recreated ancient enzymes that allowed cannabis to produce key compounds like THC, CBD, and CBC millions of years ago. These enzymes were versatile, capable of generating multiple cannabinoids simultaneously before evolution led to more specialized forms. The study reveals that these ancient enzymes are not only more robust but also easier to manipulate in laboratory settings, providing insights into cannabis chemistry's evolution.
