RESUMO

Particulate enzyme preparations from tobacco seedlings (Nicotiana tabacum L.) were used in the synthesis of steryl glycoside. The data obtained by measuring cholesterol-4-14C incorporation generally agree with results obtained with UDP-glucose-14C. The in vitro reaction was linear for the first 10 minutes and had a pH optimum of 7.0 to 7.4. Addition of ATP activated while UDP-glucose inhibited slightly the reaction. In short term experiments, the percentage disappearance of endogenous and added sterol was about the same.
