Immunolabeling of MecgoR, the Enzyme Catalyzing the Penultimate Step of Cocaine Biosynthesis

Caption

This image shows immunolabeling (green areas) of MecgoR, the enzyme catalyzing the penultimate step of cocaine biosynthesis. The picture shows the strong accumulation of the enzyme in a cross section of a very young E. coca leaf, which is still curled around the growing stem tip. Bar: 0,1 mm.
