Biosynthesis of 6-methylsalicylic acid; the combined use of mono- and tri-duteriated acetate precursors to investigate the degree of stereocontrol in the aromatisation sequence
Abstract
The Results from a novel combination of incorporation experiments using mono- and tri-deuteriated acetate precursors indicate that the aromatisation sequence in 6-methylsalicylic acid biosynthesis occurs stereospecifically and therefore is under enzymic control.
