No product formation was observed inside the absence of NADPH or when heat-inactivated enzyme preparations were utilised in the assays. In RGS16 MedChemExpress contrast, apigenin, 5-deoxyleucopelargonidin and isoliquiritigenin were not accepted as substrates. The kinetic data of each enzymes had been determined with naringenin, dihydrokaempferol and kaempferol as substrates (Table 1). The values obtained for the substrates have been inside a related variety. Each recombinant enzymes, MdF3 HI I211M and MdF3 HII, showed highest specificity for the flavonol kaempferol.Table 1.

There had been, even so, modest amounts of 3-hydroxyphloretin detected by the far more sensitive mass detector, but these had been apparently formed by an unspecific enzyme from S. cerevisiae because a negative manage yeast expressing cytochrome P450 reductase of Catharanthus roseus (CrCypr) developed similar amounts of 3-hydroxphloretin (Figure S2, Table S4). In contrast, recombinant chalcone 3-hydroxylase from Cosmos sulphureus, which was previously shown to accept dihydrochalcones to a moderate extent [15], produced adequate amounts of 3-hydroxyphloretin to become detected by the DAD (Figure three).Plants 2021, 10, x FOR PEER REVIEW5 ofPlants 2021, ten,nant chalcone 3-hydroxylase from Cosmos sulphureus, which was previously shown 5 ofacto 11 cept dihydrochalcones to a moderate extent [15], produced enough amounts of 3-hydroxyphloretin to be detected by the DAD (Figure 3).Figure three.
