Meanings
-
(not-comparable) chlorinated with a single atom of chlorine
For example, the monochlorinated analog of 1, hectochlorin C ( 6 ), is likely produced by a process wherein the chlorination enzyme fails to catalyze the addition of a second chlorine atom to the substrate, and this modification is transparent to subsequent downstream biosynthetic steps.
