About this document
Caffeine Biosynthesis and Metabolism Review by fitrah fajriani is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes recent research on the biosynthesis and catabolism of caffeine and related purine alkaloids. It discusses the four step pathway from xanthosine to caffeine, including the genes and molecular structure of the N-methyltransferases involved. It also reviews the metabolism of purine alkaloids in species like Camellia, Coffea, Theobroma, and Ilex, and discusses the potential roles of purine alkaloids in plant defense and allelopathy. Finally, it covers genetic engineering research to pro
