A sesquiterpene synthase from the liverwort was characterised and shown to produce the new sesquiterpene hydrocarbon (3,9)-asterisca-1,6-diene, besides small amounts of pentalenene. The biosynthesis of asterisca-1,6-diene was studied through isotopic labelling experiments, giving additional insights into the long discussed biosynthesis of pentalenene.
从地钱中分离出一种倍半萜合酶,该酶能够产生新的倍半萜烃(3,9)- Asterisca-1,6-二烯,同时还会产生少量的戊烯内脂。通过同位素标记实验研究了 Asterisca-1,6-二烯的生物合成途径,为戊烯内脂的生物合成途径提供了更多的见解。
