Partial Purification and Characterization of a Monoterpene Synthase Extracted from Young Leaves of Michellia Alba
This study was conducted to partially purify linalool synthase from the young leaves of Michellia alba (Cempaka Putih) from the Magnoliaceae family. The technique used to determine the amount of linalool produced from enzyme activity was the combination of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas...
