Application

Application Comment Organism
synthesis the enzyme can serve as a tool to synthesize unnatural, optically active tetrahydroisoquinolines. The enzyme is a promising catalyst that functions to stereoselectively produce various 1-substituted-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolines Coptis japonica

Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
N-terminally truncated enzyme (CjNCS-DELTA29, with a deletion of the first 29 amino acid residues) is expressed in Escherichia coli. The cell-free extract of Escherichia coli expressing CjNCS-DELTA29 exhibits 40fold higher activity than that expressing intact enzyme Coptis japonica
