Metabolite Identification
Common Name(+)-caryolan-1-ol
Description(+)-caryolan-1-ol is a sesquiterpenoid alcohol belonging to the chemical class of terpenes. This metabolite has garnered attention in the field of biochemistry for its role in the biosynthesis of complex terpenes. Specifically, research has focused on the enzyme (+)-caryolan-1-ol synthase (CS) from Streptomyces griseus, which catalyzes the formation of (+)-caryolan-1-ol through anti-Markovnikov cyclization reactions. The elucidation of the X-ray crystal structure of this enzyme, both in the presence and absence of an inactive analog of its substrate farnesyl diphosphate (2-fluorofarnesyl diphosphate), has provided insights into the reaction mechanisms employed by terpene synthases. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how such enzymes facilitate the synthesis of diverse terpenoid compounds, which are significant in various biological processes and applications, including their roles in plant defense and as precursors to bioactive molecules.
