Crystal structures of pinoresinol-lariciresinol and phenylcoumaran benzylic ether reductases, and their relationship to isoflavone reductasesCrystal structures of pinoresinol-lariciresinol and phenylcoumaran benzylic ether reductases, and their relationship to isoflavone reductases
Structural highlights
1qyc is a 2 chain structure with sequence from Pinus taeda. Full crystallographic information is available from OCA. For a guided tour on the structure components use FirstGlance.
PCBER_PINTA Oxidoreductase involved in lignan biosynthesis. Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of phenylcoumaran benzylic ethers. Converts dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DDC) to isodihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (IDDDC), and dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DDDC) to tetrahydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (TDDC).[1][2]
