Abstract excerpt
Sesquiterpene cyclases catalyze the conversion of common precursor, farnesyl pyrophosphate, into various terpene backbones. X-ray crystallography of tobacco epi-aristolochene synthase has previously proposed a cyclization mechanism wherein the allylic carbocation intermediate is stabilized by the...
