“…Known SHC homologs also convert substrates predominantly following the usual and native isoprene rule, with variations mostly observed in the form of chain length, epoxide groups at the terminal isoprene unit, or nucleophilic groups at the final cyclization unit. ,,, In contrast, class I terpene cyclases demonstrated greater tolerance to substrates deviating from the common isoprene unit, e.g., in the methylation pattern, but these enzymes are dependent on activated substrates and are less suitable for cost-effective broad applications. − …”
