Caffeine synthase
text:
Caffeine synthase is a methyltransferase enzyme involved in the caffeine biosynthesis pathway. It is expressed in tea species, coffee species, and cocoa species. The enzyme catalyses the following reactions: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + theobromine ⇌ S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + caffeine + H+
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + paraxanthine ⇌ S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + caffeine + H+
7-methylxanthine + S-adenosyl-L-methionine ⇌ S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + H+ + theobromine Caffeine synthase is expressed in the
