Functional characterization, structural basis, and protein engineering of a rare flavonoid 2′-O-glycosyltransferase from Scutellaria baicalensis

Glycosylation is an important post-modification reaction in plant secondary metabolism, and contributes to structural diversity of bioactive natural products. In plants, glycosylation is usually catalyzed by UDP-glycosyltransferases. Flavonoid 2'-
