A role for ascorbate conjugates of (+)-catechin in proanthocyanidin polymerization
Proanthocyanidins (PAs) are natural polymers of flavan-3-ols, commonly (+)-catechin and (−)-epicatechin. However, exactly how PA oligomerization proceeds is poorly understood. Here we show, both biochemically and genetically, that ascorbate (AsA) is an alternative “starter unit” to flavan-3-ol monom...
