Reaction Steps

The purified enzyme is suspended in a buffer having a pH of 4.5 to 8.5, preferably 6.5 to 8. To this suspension, EGCG or ECG is added along with S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) and the reaction is allowed to proceed at 5 to 60° C., preferably at 20 to 40° C., to form a methylated catechin.
