Stereochemical inversion of ( S )-reticuline by a cytochrome P450 fusion in opium poppy
2015
A fusion protein containing P450 and aldo-keto reductase domains is shown to catalyze reticuline isomerization, the critical branch point between the noscapine and morphine biosynthetic pathways. This discovery completes the enzymatic route to morphine and related compounds.
