| Abstract: | Evidence from feeding experiments with lysine-[2-14C] and from metabolism experiments published previously suggest the operation of a gridlike conversion of quinolizidine alkaloids in Leguminosae. Using these results and the taxonomical distribution of alkaloids a metabolic grid was devised to explain the conversion of lysine into lupin alkaloids and their interconversions. |
