Abstract
In summary, we conclude that MA and MB myrosinase genes contain the same set of 12 exons and that data neither support nor exclude the possibility that the portion of the enzyme encoded by exons 9 and 10 contains the ascorbate binding site of the molecule. Indeed, given the fact that both MA and MB myrosinase are activated by ascorbate, it is more reasonable to look for the ascorbate-binding site in areas conserved between the two sequences than in those that have diverged.Keywords
