Described herein are non-natural variants of prenyltronsfcrases having at least one amino acid substitution as compared to its corresponding natural or unmodified prenyltransferascs. The variants are capable of an increased rate of formation of prenylated aromatic compounds, such as cannabinoids, as compared to a wild type control The prcnyltransferase variants can be expressed in an engineered microbe having a pathway to such cannabinoids, and optionally can include one or more other pathway transgencs to promote formation of substrate(s) for the prcnyltransferases. Therapeutically useful cannabinoids can be purified from engineered cells and cell cultures.

The invention relates to the field of health food technologies, and particularly to a composition and an application thereof in preparing a product for protecting mitochondria. The invention provides a composition, the raw materials of which include Haematococcus pluvialis, Lycium ruthenicum, Cordyceps militaris and nicotinamide. The composition has the effects of improving an oxidative stress level under a mitochondrial dysfunction and delaying mitochondrion-related aging. Compared with a single constituent, constituents in the composition cooperate with each other to produce a synergistic effect, which significantly improves an effect of protecting a mitochondrial function.

A traditional Chinese medicine composition, and preparation method, and application thereof. The traditional Chinese medicine composition includes the following raw medicines in parts by weight: 10-35 parts of root of Chinese thorowax, 5-25 parts of immature bitter orange, 3-20 parts of fresh root and rhizome of sorrel rhubarb, 3-20 parts of root of baikal skullcap, 3-20 parts of white peony root, 3-15 parts of dried ginger, 5-20 parts of leech, 3-20 parts of root of ural licorice, 3-20 parts of root pilose asiabell, 3-20 parts of rhizome of largehead atractylodes, and 3-25 parts of tuber of pinellia. The traditional Chinese medicine composition has excellent effects in lowering blood lipids and cholesterol levels, particularly in lowering blood triglyceride. The traditional Chinese medicine composition also has excellent effects in slowing formation of atherosclerotic plaques, clearing the atherosclerotic plaques, and preventing and treating atherosclerosis.
