Challenges Posed to Bornyl Diphosphate Synthase: Diverging Reaction Mechanisms in Monoterpenes.

The simplest form of terpenoid chemistry is found for the monoterpenes, which give plants fragrance, flavor, and medicinal properties. Monoterpene synthases employ geranyl diphosphate as a substrate to generate an assortment of cyclic products. In the current study we present a detailed analysis of...
