Physico-chemical properties of actin cleaved with bacterial protease from E. coli A2 strain.

abstract：:Tropine (tropan-3 alpha-ol) is an intermediate in the formation of hyoscyamine. An acyltransferase activity that can acetylate tropine using acetylcoenzyme A as cosubstrate has been found in transformed root cultures of Datura stramonium. A further acyltransferase activity that acetylates pseudotropine (tropan-3 beta-...
