IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 2.1.1.136

Accepted name: chlorophenol O-methyltransferase

Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + trichlorophenol = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + trichloroanisole

Other name(s): halogenated phenol O-methyltransferase; trichlorophenol O-methyltransferase

Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:trichlorophenol O-methyltransferase

Comments: The enzyme from Trichoderma virgatum, when cultured in the presence of halogenated phenol, also acts on a range of mono-, di- and trichlorophenols.
