Determinants of Enantiospecificity in Limonene Synthases.

Abstract excerpt

Monoterpene synthases catalyze the first committed step in the biosynthesis of monoterpenes and are in part responsible for the enormous structural diversity among this class of metabolites. Here, we explore the structure-function relationships underlying the formation of limonene enantiomers in limonene synthases that bind geranyl diphosphate as a common substrate. On the basis of analyses that consider both...
