• Description: 3,5-Dimethoxy-4-methylbenzoic acid methyl ester (DMMBME) is a synthetic compound that is used as an immunogen to generate antibodies against fungal proteins. DMMBME is specifically used to identify the presence of bryoria and australian fungi in plants. The chemical structure of DMMBME can be oxidized by depsidones, which leads to the production of reactive oxygen species that are believed to be responsible for the oxidative coupling of target proteins. This reaction can be catalyzed by a number of enzymes such as nidulin, which is found in plant roots.
