Metabolism
The enzyme kaempferol 4'-O-methyltransferase uses S-adenosyl-L-methionine and kaempferol to produce S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine and kaempferide.
Glycosides
Icariin is the tert-amyl alcohol derivative of kaempferide 3,7-O-diglycoside.
gollark: Well, microwaves, but so is the micro:bit radio, so meh.
gollark: It is not currently, strictly speaking, osmarks internet *radio™*.
gollark: I kind of want to attain two micro:bits, thingy them to my server and laptop via UART over USB, and transmit osmarks internet radio™ over their surprisingly capable wireless radios.
gollark: Unrelatedly, it turns out that the unused micro:bit on my desk still functions perfectly.
gollark: No, this is actually illegal; you *will* act as Microsoft preconfigures it to be.
