Substituent effects on the oxidative coupling of phenylpropanoids
Incorporation of phenylpropanoids into the plant polymer lignin occurs by a radical coupling mechanism catalysed by the enzyme peroxidase. Generation of the parent radical requires reduction of the enzyme intermediate compound I, which can be monitored by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy....
