Abstract: Biosynthesis of hydroxy terpenes, which possess better solubility and target-binding capability than terpene hydrocarbons, generally needs cascaded catalysis of terpene synthase (TS) and cytochrome P450 oxygenase. Interestingly, some TSs can directly generate hydroxy terpenes (mostly… read more here.
