Abstract
Pectin methyl esterases and their endogenous inhibitors are involved in many processes in plant physiology. Exogenous inhibitors of PME can be used to further our understanding of these processes. We identify the green tea catechin epigallocatechin gallate as a natural inhibitor of pectin methyl esterases from multiple taxa.
