Evidence for oxidation at C-3 of the flavonoid C-ring during anthocyanin biosynthesis

Chemical Communications Pub Date: 2001-09-03 DOI: 10.1039/B105576N

Abstract

Evidence is presented for initial oxidation at the C-3 position of the flavonoid C-ring and for two bifurcating steps during catalysis by anthocyanidin synthase.
