Sysname
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:(+/-)-pavine N-methyltransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + (+/-)-pavine = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + N-methylpavine [RN:R10680]
Reaction(KEGG)
R10680
Substrate
S-adenosyl-L-methionine [CPD:C00019];
(+/-)-pavine [CPD:C20771]
Product
S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine [CPD:C00021];
