Structural determinants of reductive terpene cyclization in iridoid biosynthesis
The carbon skeleton of ecologically and pharmacologically important iridoid monoterpenes is formed in a reductive cyclization reaction unrelated to canonical terpene cyclization. Here we report the crystal structure of the recently discovered iridoid cyclase (Catharanthus roseus) bound to a mechanis...
