Function

The protein being studied, Tetrahydroprotoberbine N-methyltransferase, is found in yellow horned poppy (Glaucium Flavum). The function of the protein is substate recognition as well as catalysis for the ration engineering of enyzmes for chemoenzymatic synthesis and metabolic engineering. The relative activity of 8 and more substrates were tested. Protoberberine had the highest percentage.

Disease

Relevance

Studying Tetrahydroprotoberbine will provide commercial application where one will gain a lot of knowledge from both the research paper and online sources. Studying this protein will allow readers to engage in the material and apply their own knowledge to better understand the study. This research will provide descriptive roles that TNMT plays such as pathway leading to the formation of different substrates including Protoberberine. ^[3]
