Genetic control of enantiomeric specificity of nicotine biosynthesis in tobacco
Department of Crop and Soil Sciences, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, U.S.A.
Living things frequently produce metabolites that can exist in optically pure form or as enantiomeric mixtures. Interestingly, enantiomers often confer different biological activities. Nicotine can exist naturally in the tobacco plant as either (R)-...
