EC 2.1.1.65     
Accepted name: licodione 2′-O-methyltransferase
Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + licodione = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2′-O-methyllicodione
For diagram of licodione biosynthesis, click here
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:licodione 2′-O-methyltransferase
Comments: As well as licodione [1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-propanedione], the 2′′-hydroxy-derivative and isoliquiritigenin can act as acceptors, but more slowly.

EC 2.1.1.154     
Accepted name: isoliquiritigenin 2′-O-methyltransferase
Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + isoliquiritigenin = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2′-O-methylisoliquiritigenin
For diagram of daidzein biosynthesis, click here
Glossary: isoliquiritigenin = 4,2′,4′-trihydroxychalcone
Other name(s): chalcone OMT; CHMT
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:isoliquiritigenin 2′-O-methyltransferase
Comments: Not identical to EC 2.1.1.65, licodione 2′-O-methyltransferase [2]. While EC 2.1.1.154, isoliquiritigenin 2′-O-methyltransferase can use licodione as a substrate, EC 2.1.1.65 cannot use isoliquiritigenin as a substrate.

EC 2.1.1.339     
Accepted name: xanthohumol 4-O-methyltransferase
Reaction: S-adenosyl-L-methionine + xanthohumol = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 4-O-methylxanthohumol
For diagram of xanthohumol biosynthesis, click here
Glossary: xanthohumol = 2′,4,4′-trihydroxy-6′-methoxy-3-prenylchalcone = (2E)-1-[2,4-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-3-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)phenyl]-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one
4-O-methylxanthohumol =2′,4′-dihydroxy-4,6′-dimethoxy-3-prenylchalcone = (2E)-1-[2,4-dihydroxy-6-methoxy-3-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)phenyl]-3-(4-methoxyphenyl)prop-2-en-1-one
Other name(s): OMT2 (ambiguous); S-adenosyl-L-methionine:xanthohumol 4′-O-methyltransferase (incorrect); xanthohumol 4′-O-methyltransferase (incorrect)
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:xanthohumol 4-O-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme from hops (Humulus lupulus) has a broad substrate specificity. The best substrates in vitro are resveratrol, desmethylxanthohumol, naringenin chalcone and isoliquiritigenin.

EC 2.3.1.170     
Accepted name: 6′-deoxychalcone synthase
Reaction: 3 malonyl-CoA + 4-coumaroyl-CoA + NADPH + H+ = 4 CoA + isoliquiritigenin + 3 CO2 + NADP+ + H2O
For diagram of daidzein biosynthesis, click here
Glossary: isoliquiritigenin = 4,2′,4′-trihydroxychalcone
liquiritigenin = 7,4′-dihydroxyflavanone
Systematic name: malonyl-CoA:4-coumaroyl-CoA malonyltransferase (cyclizing, reducing)
Comments: Isoliquiritigenin is the precursor of liquiritigenin, a 5-deoxyflavanone.
