Abstract excerpt
Caffeoyl-coenzyme A O-methyltransferase (CCoAOMT)-like proteins from plants display a conserved position specificity towards the meta-position of aromatic vicinal dihydroxy groups, consistent with the methylation pattern observed in vivo. A CCoAOMT-like enzyme identified from Arabidopsis thaliana encoded by the gene At4g26220 shows a strong preference for methylating the para position of flavanones and...
