Carbocations and the Complex Flavor and Bouquet of Wine: Mechanistic Aspects of Terpene Biosynthesis in Wine Grapes [PDF]
Molecules, 2015 Computational chemistry approaches for studying the formation of terpenes/terpenoids in wines are presented, using five particular terpenes/terpenoids (1,8-cineole, α-ylangene, botrydial, rotundone, and the wine lactone), volatile compounds (or their ...

Exploring novel bacterial terpene synthases.
PLoS ONE, 2020 Terpenes are the largest class of natural products with extensive structural diversity and are widely used as pharmaceuticals, herbicides, flavourings, fragrances, and biofuels. While they have mostly been isolated from plants and fungi, the availability

Origin and early evolution of the plant terpene synthase family
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2022 Significance Land plants produce numerous terpenoids that regulate development and mediate environmental interactions. Thus, how typical plant terpene synthase (TPS) genes originated and evolved to create terpenoid diversity is of fundamental interest ...

Modular terpene synthesis enabled by mild electrochemical couplings
Science, 2022 The synthesis of terpenes is a large field of research that is woven deeply into the history of chemistry. Terpene biosynthesis is a case study of how the logic of a modular design can lead to diverse structures with unparalleled efficiency.

High-performing organic electronics using terpene green solvents from renewable feedstocks
Nature Energy, 2022 There is a growing need for sustainable and green solvent processing of organic optoelectronics. Now Corzo et al. show that terpene solvents in a binary formulation enable device performance on par with that of more toxic solvents. Accelerating the shift

Ancient plant-like terpene biosynthesis in corals
Nature Chemical Biology, 2022 Octocorals are major contributors of terpenoid chemical diversity in the ocean. Natural products from other sessile marine animals are primarily biosynthesized by symbiotic microbes rather than by the host.
