DE   (R,S)-reticuline 7-O-methyltransferase.
CA   (1) (S)-reticuline + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = (S)-laudanine + H(+) +
CA   S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine.
CA   (2) (R)-reticuline + S-adenosyl-L-methionine = (R)-laudanine + H(+) +
CA   S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the plant Papaver somniferum (opium poppy) methylates
CC       (S)- and (R)-reticuline with equal efficiency and is involved in the
CC       biosynthesis of tetrahydrobenzylisoquinoline alkaloids.
