Type: | Domain | Name: | Chalcone isomerase |
Description: | Chalcone isomerase (; also known as chalcone-flavanone isomerase) is a plant enzyme responsible for the isomerisation of chalcone to naringenin, a key step in the biosynthesis of flavonoids. The Petunia hybrida(Petunia) genome contains two genes coding for very similar enzymes, ChiA and ChiB, but only the first seems to encode a functional chalcone isomerase. Chalcone isomerase has a core 2-layer alpha/beta structure consisting of beta(3)-alpha(2)-beta-alpha(2)-beta(3) [].This entry represents chalcone isomerases and enzymes with a common structure. | Short Name: | Chalcone_isomerase |
