Journal ArticleDOI
The metabolism of aromatic compounds in higher plants. IV. Purification and properties of the phenylalanine deaminase of Hordeum vulgare.
Jane Koukol,Eric E. Conn +1 more
TL;DR: The present report describes the isolation, partial purification, and characterization of phenylalanine deaminase, an enzyme from barley that converts Lphenylalanines to cinnamic acid and ammonia and finds that monocotyledons but not dicotyles can readily convert n-tyrosine to lignin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanide Metabolism in Higher Plants III. THE BIOSYNTHESIS OF β-CYANOALANINE
TL;DR: Seedlings of blue lupine, sorghum, and common vetch which convert H14CN extensively into the amide carbon of asparagine have been shown to utilize l-cysteine-3-14C as the source of the other 3 carbon atoms ofAsparagine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyanide metabolism in higher plants. V. The formation of asparagine from -cyanoalanine.
TL;DR: The blue lupin β-cyanoalanine hydrolase was found to be highly specific for β-cycloalanine, distinct from other plant, bacterial and fungal nitrilases, asparaginases or glutaminases and plant hydroxynitrile lyases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
The 4-Hydroxylation of Cinnamic Acid by Sorghum Microsomes and the Requirement for Cytochrome P-450
TL;DR: When challenged with a range of potential inhibitors, the cinnamic acid 4-hydroxylase behaved in a manner that is fairly typical of the more extensively studied P-450 monooxygenases of nonplant tissues.
