Stereochemistry of matairesinol formation by Daphne secoisolariciresinol dehydrogenase
Journal of Wood Science volume 50, pages 77–81 (2004)
Abstract
Secoisolariciresinol dehydrogenase activity was detected for the first time from Daphne odora and Daphne genkwa (Thymelaeaceae), which are known to produce optically pure (+)-matairesinol. In sharp contrast, (−)-matairesinol was formed selectively over the (+)-antipode by the secoisolariciresinol dehydrogenase preparation from both D. odora callus and D. genkwa shoots.
