Triterpene Structural Diversification by Plant Cytochrome P450 Enzymes

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Cytochrome P450 monooxygenases (P450s) represent the largest enzyme family of the plant metabolism. Plants typically devote about 1% of the protein-coding genes for the P450s to execute primary metabolism and also to perform species-specific specialized ...

A conserved amino acid residue critical for product and substrate specificity in plant triterpene synthases [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2016
Triterpenes are structurally complex plant natural products with numerous medicinal applications. They are synthesized through an origami-like process that involves cyclization of the linear 30 carbon precursor 2,3-oxidosqualene into different triterpene
