Covering: up to mid-2020 Terpenoids, also called isoprenoids, are the largest and most
structurally diverse family of natural products. Found in all domains of life, there are over 80 …

Biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs), particularly terpenoids, can significantly
drive the formation of ozone (O 3) and secondary organic aerosols (SOA) in the atmosphere …

Terpene synthases (TSs) catalyse the most complex cyclization cascades in nature, with
generation and taming of reactive carbocations. Although deprotonation–reprotonation …

The mechanisms of two diterpene cyclases from streptomycetes—one with an unknown
product that was identified as the spirocyclic hydrocarbon spiroviolene and one with the …

Sesterterpenoids are a group of terpenoid natural products that are primarily biosynthesized
via cyclization of the C25 linear substrate geranylfarnesyl pyrophosphate (GFPP). Although …

The products of two bifunctional fungal sesterterpene synthases (StTPS), with prenyl
transferase (PT) and terpene synthase (TPS) domains from Penicillium, were structurally …

The substrate flexibility of eight purified sesquiterpene cyclases was evaluated using six
new heteroatom‐modified farnesyl pyrophosphates, and the formation of six new …

This review summarises known sesquiterpenes whose biosyntheses proceed through the
intermediate germacrene A. First, the occurrence and biosynthesis of germacrene A in …

Based on a terpenoid overproduction platform in yeast for genome mining, a chimeric
diterpene synthase from the endophytic fungus Colletotrichum gloeosporioides ES026 was …

Genome sequences of social amoebae reveal the presence of terpene cyclases (TCs) in
these organisms. Two TCs from Dictyostelium discoideum converted farnesyl diphosphate …
