Simultaneous Real-Time Measurement of Isoprene and 2-Methyl-3-Buten-2-ol Emissions From Trees Using SIFT-MS [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The C5 hemiterpenes isoprene and 2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol (MBO) are important biogenic volatiles emitted from terrestrial vegetation. Isoprene is emitted from many plant groups, especially trees such as Populus, while emission of MBO is restricted to ...

An Artificial Pathway for Isoprenoid Biosynthesis Decoupled from Native Hemiterpene Metabolism [PDF]
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2019 Isoprenoids are constructed in nature using hemiterpene building blocks that are biosynthesized from lengthy enzymatic pathways with little opportunity to deploy precursor-directed biosynthesis. Here, an artificial alcohol-dependent hemiterpene biosynthetic pathway was designed and coupled to several isoprenoid biosynthetic systems, affording lycopene ...

Promiscuity of an Alcohol-Dependent Hemiterpene Pathway for the In Vivo Production of a Non-Natural Alkylated Tryptophan Derivative [PDF]
ACS Synthetic BiologyThe prenyl motif determines the biological activity of many natural products. Yet, structural diversification of the prenyl site has been restricted due to the limitations of native biosynthetic pathways to hemiterpenes, the universal isoprenoid building blocks.

ChemBioChem, 2019 Abstract Isoprenoids are a large class of natural products with wide‐ranging applications. Synthetic biology approaches to the manufacture of isoprenoids and their new‐to‐nature derivatives are limited due to the provision in nature of just two hemiterpene building blocks for isoprenoid biosynthesis.

Could the Biological Potency of Porcelia macrocarpa R.E. Fries (Annonaceae) be Linked to Its Diverse Metabolite Profile? [PDF]
Chem BiodiversABSTRACT Porcelia macrocarpa is a Brazilian plant species belonging to the Annonaceae family. To date, more than 190 compounds have been identified and/or isolated from this species, with terpenoids comprising the majority (62%). Alkaloids represent the second most abundant class (11%), followed by steroids (4%), acetogenins (4%), fatty acids (4 ...

Synthesis of hemiterpene 1-bromo-3-methyl-2-butene derivatives [PDF]
AIP Conference Proceedings, 2021 Hemiterpene 1-bromo-2-methyl-2-butene (prenyl bromide) is widely used as a prenyl source for various organic synthesis. One of them is the development of synthetic fragrances for the perfume industry which is growing rapidly for daily consumption. Based on our literature study, most fragrances contain terpenes.

Action Mechanism of Essential Oils or Their Components Against Pathogenic Bacteria: Literature Review. [PDF]
Int J MicrobiolEssential oils (EOs), derived from medicinal and aromatic plants, are natural mixtures of volatile, oily compounds with varying compositions and antibacterial mechanisms. Understanding the mechanisms of EOs and their components (EOCs) is essential for predicting their impacts on various microbes and their interactions with antibiotics.
