Irregular Terpene Synthase Substrates: A New Facet of the Bacterial Terpene Metabolism
Author(s): Birgit Piechulla*, Marie-Chantal Lemfack, Stephan Von Reuss and Nancy Magnus
Aberrant from the ‘isoprene rule’ the terpene synthases of the non-canonical terpene biosynthesis pathway detected
in bacteria use methylated and cyclized substrates. The altered substrate spectrum of terpene synthases additionally
enlarges the already huge terpene diversity and adds another facet to the fascinating terpene metabolism. .. View more»
