Chalcone synthase (CHS) is a plant-specific enzyme that synthesises naringenin chalcone, an essential precursor of the flavonoid biosynthetic pathway. Naringenin and kaempferol are two flavonoids that have been demonstrated to inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells. To study chalcone synthase gene...
