Cycling gear: A sesquiterpene cyclase (SC) homologue, CnsA, from Streptomyces clavuligerus has been identified as a monoterpene cyclase that catalyzes the conversion of GPP into 1,8‐cineole (see scheme). This suggests that bacterial SC homologues could include monoterpene cyclases, similar to plant SC homologues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
