Enantiomeric Form of <i>myo</i>-Inositol-1-Phosphate Produced by <i>myo</i>-Inositol-1-Phosphate Synthase and <i>myo</i>-Inositol Kinase in Higher Plants

Abstract

The product of myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase, EC 5.5.1.4, from mature pollen of Lilium longiflorum Thunb., cv Ace (Easter lily) and that of myo-inositol kinase, EC 2.7.1.64, from wheat germ has been identified as 1l-myo-inositol-1-phosphate by gas chromatography of its trimethylsilyl-methyl phosphate derivative on a glass capillary column bearing a chiral phase.
