The hydroxylation of ring B of des-ring D androstanes by Cephalosporium aphidicola follows the pattern of normal steroids, but that of ring C differs from this, suggesting that the nature of ring D is important in determining the hydroxylation of ring C.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
