چکیده
The label from [3-(13)C]-L-glycerol is incorporated into the hydroxymethyl group of methylenomycin furans suggesting a butenolide intermediate in their biosynthesis.

Further Studies on the Biosynthesis of Pseudoisoeugenols in Tissue Cultures of Pimpinella anisum
Tissue cultures o f Pimpinella anisum and P. major were used to study the biosynthesis o f pseudoisoeugenols. The putative precursors were labelled with 13C with one exception that was labelled with i4C. The incorporation o f the label was controlled by 13C N M R and liquid scintil lation, respectively. The biosynthetic sequence found was L-phenylalanine, /-cinnamic acid, /?-coumaric acid, / 7...
متن کاملThe Incorporation of [1,2-13C2] Acetate into Pisatin to Establish the Biosynthesis of Its Polyketide Moiety *
Biosynthesis, 13C-NMR, Phytoalexins, Pisatin The biosynthesis of the polyketide moiety in pisatin has been examined by incorporation ex periments with [1,2-13C2] acetate and 13C-NMR measurements. The results establish that the C-5 carbonyl group in the enzyme-bound, open-chain polyketide precursor is reduced before cyclization to form the aryl ring. The specific incorporation attained in these...
متن کاملThe Use of 13C in the Synthesis of Double Labelled Precursors
Discovery of 13C NMR and its application in the biosynthetic pathways prompted the synthesis of several 13C labelled precursors. To investigate the metabolism of phenyllactic acid in the Solanaceae family, the double labelled acid was synthesized from barium carbonate (13C) and sodium syanide (13C)
متن کاملThe stereochemistry of betulaprenol biosynthesis.
By using stereospecifically double-labelled radioactive mevalonates it was shown that betulaprenols-6 to -9, found in the woody tissue of Betula verrucosa, each contain three biogenetically trans-isoprene residues and that the remaining residues are biogenetically cis. The results obtained with these radioactive mevalonates also indicated that the activity of isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase...
