Deciphering Pyrrolidine and Olefin Formation Mechanism in Kainic Acid Biosynthesis
ACS CATALYSIS, 11(1), 278–282.
author keywords: metalloenzyme; C-H activation; cyclization; desaturation; enzyme mechanism
TL;DR:
A comparison of C–H bond activation and cyclization in the isodomoic acid and kainic acid biosynthesis experiments shows that the former is superior to the latter in terms of both molecular complexity and physical properties.
