Abstract

Abstract The distribution of deuterium in squalene and β-amyrin biosynthesized from [6-D3]-mevalonic acid in Pisum sativum has been analyzed by NMR spectroscopy. It was thus proved that the cis-terminal methyls of squalene and the 4β-methyl group of β-amyrin are stereospecifically derived from the 3-methyl group of mevalonic acid.
