A barley diterpene synthase (HvKSL4) was found to produce (14)-cleistantha-8,12-diene (). Formation of the nearly planar cyclohexa-1,4-diene configuration leaves the ring poised for aromatization, but necessitates a deceptively complicated series of rearrangements steered through a complex energetic landscape, as elucidated here through quantum chemical calculations and labeling studies.
大麦二萜合酶(HvKSL4)被发现可以合成(14)-Cleistantha-8,12-二烯()。几乎呈平面的环己-1,4-二烯构型的形成使环处于芳构化的位置,但需要通过复杂的能量景观进行一系列复杂的重排,正如通过量子化学计算和标记研究在这里阐明的那样。
