The Structure of SpnF, a Standalone Enzyme that Catalyzes [4+2] Cycloaddition

In the biosynthetic pathway of the spinosyn insecticides, the tailoring enzyme SpnF performs a [4+2]-cycloaddition on a 22-membered macrolactone to forge an embedded cyclohexene ring. To learn more about this reaction, which could potentially proceed through a Diels-Alder mechanism, the 1.50 Å-resol...
