A nematode sterol C4α-methyltransferase catalyzes a new methylation reaction responsible for sterol diversity[S]

Primitive sterol evolution plays an important role in fossil record interpretation and offers potential therapeutic avenues for human disease resulting from nematode infections. Recognizing that C4-methyl stenol products [8(14)-lophenol] can be synthesized in bacteria while C4-methyl stanol products...
