enzyme NdmA catalyzes NADH-dependent N1-demethylation of caffeine to theobromine and theophylline to 3-methylxanthine, and subsequently to 7-methylxanthine, and xanthine. Theobromine is the major product due to highly selective N1-demethylation caffeine by NdmA. But the minor production of paraxanthine from caffeine is due to slight promiscuity of the NdmA towards the N3-position on the caffeine molecule. Direct N-demethylation of caffeine at the N3 position does not occur appreciably with the three N-demethylases involved in caffeine degradation in CBB5 |
