Question
Chapter 21.13, Problem 2QQ
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation: The incorrect statement about biosynthesis of Vitamin C has to be identified.
Concept introduction: The precursor involved in the biosynthesis of Vitamin C is L-gluconic acid. Lactonase converts gluconic acid into a cyclic ester. A double bond is introduced into this cyclic ester with the help of enzyme, oxidase. The resulting product is L-ascorbic acid (Vitamin C).
