This study investigates the stereochemical outcomes of enzymes involved in sarpagan and akuammiline alkaloid biosynthesis, revealing how enzymatic activities control C16 stereochemistry across species.
Zhan Mai, Kyung‐Hee Kim, Matthew Bailey Richardson…·Yang Qu
This study identifies and characterizes three new CYPs in T. litoralis that catalyze specific oxidations of four MIA skeletons, expanding understanding of MIA biosynthesis.
