Linking Terpene Synthases to Sesquiterpene Metabolism in Grapevine Flowers
Grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) terpene synthases (VviTPS) are responsible for the biosynthesis of terpenic volatiles. Volatile profiling of nine commercial wine cultivars showed unique cultivar-specific variation in volatile terpenes emitted from ...

Chemistry and Bioactivity of the Deep-Water Antarctic Octocoral Alcyonium sp.
Chemical investigation of an Antarctic deep-water octocoral has led to the isolation of four new compounds, including three illudalane sesquiterpenoids (1–3) related to the alcyopterosins, a highly oxidized steroid, alcyosterone (5), and five known ...

Eine nicht‐kanonische C16‐Sesquiterpensynthase aus Morganella morganii produziert das ungewöhnliche Grundgerüst Descartan. Ihr Cyclisierungsmechanismus wurde mittels Isotopenmarkierungsexperimenten und DFT‐Berechnungen aufgeklärt. Gezielte Mutagenese veränderte die Enzymfunktion und führte zu alternativen Produkten, darunter Voltairen, dessen ...

Emissions of volatile organic compounds from Norway spruce and potential atmospheric impacts
Published biogenic volatile organic compound (BVOC) emission rates of Norway spruces vary a lot. In this study we combined published Norway spruce emission rates measured in boreal forests and added our new, unpublished emission data from Southern (SF ...

A non‐canonical C16 sesquiterpene synthase from Morganella morganii produces the unusual scaffold descartane. Its cyclisation mechanism was rationalised by isotopic labelling experiments and DFT calculations. Site‐directed mutagenesis altered enzyme function, resulting in alternative products, including voltairene, which requires a different ...
