A methyltransferase enzyme catalysing the 3-O-methylation of isovanillic acid (3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzoic acid) by S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) was identified in Phanerochaete chrysosporium and purified. Gel filtration indicated an M(r) of 71,000 and SDS-PAGE showed that the enzyme was composed of two subunits of

We applied coulometric detection (three electrochemical electrodes in series) to quantitate vanillic acid and isovanillic acid using reversed-phase HPLC. The formation of these reaction products from dihydroxybenzoic acid was used as a precise and reproducible measure of catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) activity
