Abstract excerpt
Biosynthesis of fungal nonribosomal peptides frequently involves redox enzymes such as flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) to introduce complexity into the core chemical structure. One such example is the formation of spiro-carbons catalyzed by various oxidases. Because many chemically complex spiro-carbon-bearing natural products exhibit useful biological activities, understanding the mechanism of spiro-carbon...
