(Iso)eugenol O-methyltransferase

Class of enzymes (iso)eugenol O-methyltransferase 2.1.1.146 191744-33-9 0050630 (Iso)eugenol O-methyltransferase (2.1.1.146) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 65% class=skin-invert-image|150px isoeugenol + SAM methyl isoeugenol + SAH This is a methylation reaction in which isoeugenol is converted to its di-ether, methyl isoeugenol. The methyl group comes from the cofactor, S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), which becomes S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH). The enzyme was characterised from Clarkia breweri.Wang J, Pichersky E 1998 Characterization of S-adenosyl-L-methionine:(iso)eugenol O-methyltransferase involved in floral scent production in Clarkia breweri Arch.
