Tracer studies using a model system consisting of Cu(2+) and ascorbate indicate that carbons 2 and 3 of propanal are converted to ethylene, and carbon 1 is converted to formic acid and CO(2). A mechanism accounting for this reaction is described. In apple tissue, methionine but not propanal is readily incorporated into ethylene. It is therefore concluded that propanal is not a precursor of ethylene in this fruit.
使用包含 Cu(2+)和抗坏血酸的模型系统的示踪研究表明,丙醛的 2 号和 3 号碳原子转化为乙烯,1 号碳原子转化为甲酸和 CO(2)。描述了一种解释该反应的机制。在苹果组织中,蛋氨酸而不是丙醛很容易掺入到乙烯中。因此,在这种水果中,丙醛不是乙烯的前体。
