The enzymatic C-methylation reaction catalyzed by the Glycine max sterol 24-C-methyltransferase was studied with substrate analogs containing a cycloartenol nucleus (CA) and a double bond (8) or triple bond (14) attached to C26. The production of the corresponding C24(28)-methylene olefin and time-dependent inhibition kinetics of k(inact) 0.24 min(-1) (CA-8) or 0.06 min(-1) (CA-14) indicates an active-site directed process and partitioning to produce novel products.

D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
