Abstract

Strictosidine synthase catalyzes a Pictet–Spengler reaction in the first step in the biosynthesis of terpene indole alkaloids to generate strictosidine. The substrate requirements for strictosidine synthase are systematically and quantitatively examined and the enzymatically generated compounds are processed by the second enzyme in this biosynthetic pathway.
