ORIGINS OF ISOPRENOID DIVERSITY: A STUDY OF STRUCTURE-FUNCTION RELATIONSHIPS IN SESQUITERPENE SYNTHASES
Plant sesquiterpene synthases catalyze the conversion of the linear substrate farnesyl diphosphate, FPP, into a remarkable array of secondary metabolites. These secondary metabolites in turn mediate a number of important interactions between plants and their environment, such as plant-plant, plant-i...
