Biosynthesis
The enzyme 3,7-dimethylquercetin 4'-O-methyltransferase uses S-adenosyl methionine and rhamnazin to produce S-adenosylhomocysteine and ayanin.
gollark: I would of course inevitably be present.
gollark: Hello, octahedra.
gollark: Facebook *somehow* went above this, and then patched internal data structures in memory to get around it accursedly, instead of just not having 65536 classes.
gollark: In the Android world, Android has a limit of 65536 classes per application for mostly irrelevant technical reasons.
gollark: Oh yes, the "override and cancel all errors" builtin.
