Kaiping, S.; Soll, Jürgen and Schultz, Gernot (1984): Site of methylation of 2-phytyl-1,4-naphthoquinol in phylloquinone (vitamin K1) synthesis in spinach chloroplasts. In: Phytochemistry, Volume 23, Issue 1, 1984, Pages 89-91, Vol. 23, No. 1: pp. 89-91 [PDF, 317kB]

Abstract

Phylloquinol (the quinol form of vitamin K1) is synthesized from 2-phytyl-1,4-naphthoquinol and S-adenosylmethionine at the thylakoid membranes of spinach chloroplasts.
