Spiroluchuene A Synthase: A Cyclase fromAspergillus luchuensisForming a Spirotetracyclic Diterpene [PDF]

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, Volume 62, Issue 52, December 21, 2023., 2023
A diterpene synthase for spiroluchuene A exhibiting a novel skeleton was discovered from Aspergillus luchuensis. Enzyme engineering through site‐directed mutagenesis allowed for the isolation of spiroluchuene B and the intermediate spiroluchuene. The enzyme mechanism was deeply studied through isotopic labelling experiments, DFT calculations and ...
