摘要: Abstract A speculative scheme for procyanidin (condensed tannin) biosynthesis involving multienzyme complexes is presented in which the stereochemistry at C-3 and C-4 of (+)-dihydroquercetin maintained (+)-catechin its oligomeric products. This contrast to Haslam's speculation a symmetrical flav-3-en-3-ol intermediate, requires re-introduction terminal reduction steps. In proposed scheme, origin 2,3- cis (−)-epicatechin from would require an epimerase, addition two reductases condensing enzyme neeeded stereochemistry.
