High impact information on C02646

Thus coniferyl and p-coumaryl alcohol could be preferentially oxidized by different peroxidase isoforms in this suspension culture, which may reflect a control mechanism for the incorporation of different monolignols into the cell wall [1].
We report for the first time that an enzyme preparation from fungal-elicited Asparagus officinalis cultured cells catalyses the formation of a norlignan, (Z)-hinokiresinol, from two non-identical phenylpropanoid monomers, 4-coumaryl alcohol and 4-coumaroyl CoA, and from a dimer, 4-coumaryl 4-coumarate, without any additional cofactors [2].
A third possibility studied was activation of the side-chain alcohol of p-coumaryl alcohol, e.g.via esterification, to form a more facile leaving group via reductive elimination [3].
