- Title
Supramolecular catalysis: Terpenes in tight spaces.
- Authors
Roach, Jeremy J.; Shenvi, Ryan A.
- Abstract
The article discusses a research concerning the efficiency of enzymes in the synthesis of complex natural products by terpene biosynthesis. It highlights the several isoprenoid class including natural rubber, flavour compounds such as menthol, limonene and citronellal. It also emphasizes the function of basic amine-containing metabolites for the generation of terpene structures in biosynthetic pathways.
