Investigation of a Possible Multi-enzyme Complex Involved in Nicotine Biosynthesis in Roots of Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)

Investigation of a Possible Multi-enzyme Complex Involved in Nicotine Biosynthesis in Roots of Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum)

N-methylputrescine oxidase (MPO) is a member of the diamine oxidase (DAO) class of enzymes believed to be responsible for synthesis of the alkaloid nicotine in the roots of Nicotiana tabacum (Mizusaki et al., 1972). A purportedly pure MPO protein from tobacco root culture extracts was used to gener...
