Clade III Synthases Add Cyclic and Linear Terpenoids to the Psilocybe Metabolome
The Psilocybe cubensis terpene synthases, CubB‐CubE, were investigated. Product formation assays identified CubB as a (3R,6E)‐(‐)‐nerolidol or linalool synthase, whereas CubC is a multiproduct synthase catalyzing the formation of β‐caryophyllene and other linear and cyclic sesquiterpenes/‐terpenoids.

Diversity of ThDP‐Dependent Enzymes Forming Chiral Tertiary Alcohols
Chiral tertiary alcohols are widespread in nature and bioactive compounds; however, their asymmetric synthesis faces several challenges. This review outlines the toolbox of ThDP‐dependent enzymes able to produce tertiary alcohols through the formation of CC bond formation using ketones as acceptor substrates. Herein, the substrate scope, the diversity

Mammalian Tolerance to Amino Acid Heterochirality
Organisms preferentially use l‐amino acids (l‐AAs). However, de novo synthesized l‐AAs are in part converted to d‐AAs. The ribosome has a robust system to use l‐AAs for protein synthesis, whereas non‐ribosomal synthesis can also use d‐AAs. Furthermore, some AA residues can be post‐translationally isomerized through enzymatic or spontaneous processes ...

The discovery of a terpene synthase of insect origin that makes the apparently cryptic product nephthenol from geranylgeranyl diphosphate sheds light on hidden biosynthetic potential. Populations of the sandfly, Lutzomyia longipalpis, use the diterpene sobralene as a sex/aggregation pheromone, which is likely produced in the insect through the activity

The challenge of recycling heterogeneous catalysts and reusing them in different reactions was addressed. To this end, salen complexes were anchored on methacrylate insoluble polymers obtained using the Cu(0)‐mediated RDRP method. Their reactivity and recyclability were analyzed in asymmetric ring opening and dynamic kinetic resolution of epoxides ...
