On the mechanism of ophiobolin F synthase and the absolute configuration of its product by isotopic labelling experiments

Abstract

An ophiobolin F synthase homolog was discovered from Aspergillus calidoustus CBS121601. The cyclisation mechanism of this terpene synthase was investigated by extensive isotopic labelling experiments and the absolute configuration of its product ophiobolin F was elucidated by enantioselective deuteration.
