ABSTRACT:
A tocopherol cyclase is produced in homogenous form which acts on phytyl benzoquinol derivatives to produce R', R', R'-tocopherols enantioselectively. The cyclase has a molecular weight of from about 48 kD to about 50 kD as determined by SDS-PAGE. The cyclase is isolated from Chlorella protothecoides, Dunaliella salina and wheat leaves of the Fidel variety.
