Identification and catalytic optimization of pinene oxidases in paeoniflorin biosynthetic pathway

Abstract Paeoniflorin is a pharmacologically important cage-like monoterpene glycoside characteristic of Paeonia plants, yet its biosynthetic pathway has remained largely unresolved, hindering sustainable production. Here, we confirmed that paeoniflorin biosynthesis originates from α-pinene and identified 3 novel cytoc...
