Nomenclature
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-adenosyl-L-methionine:(RS)-1-benzyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline N-methyltransferase. This enzyme is also called norreticuline N-methyltransferase.

gollark: Topright corner somewhere. You can set destinations.
gollark: If you click "trains" in the UI, you can control them.
gollark: I am now spying on you. Muahahaha.
