Abstract
Incorporation of dl-methionine-2-¹⁴C and dl-homomethionine-2-¹⁴C into 3-methylthiopropylglucosinolate and into 3-methylsulfinylpropylglucosinolate have been demonstrated using Cheiranthus kewensis. The reduction of 3-methylsulfinylpropylglucosinolate to 3-methylthiopropylglucosinolate has also been shown. The results support the following sequence of biochemical reactions: Methionine → homomethionine → 3-methylthiopropylglucosinolate ⇌ 3-methylsulfinylpropylglucosinolate. A method of separating the two glucosinolates on a preparative scale is described.
