| Accepted name: |
licodione 2′-O-methyltransferase |
| Reaction: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine + licodione = S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine + 2′-O-methyllicodione |

| Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:licodione 2′-O-methyltransferase |
| Comments: |
As well as licodione [1-(2,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-1,3-propanedione], the 2′′-hydroxy-derivative and isoliquiritigenin can act as acceptors, but more slowly. |
