摘要
The simultaneous formation of monocyclic and differentially deprotonated triterpenes by mutation of Tyr510 of the oxidosqualene-lanosterol cyclase (ERG7) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae is reported (see scheme). Possible dual functions of this residue involved in the cyclization and deprotonation steps of the oxidosqualene cyclization/rearrangement cascade are discussed.
