Type: | Family | Name: | Strictosidine synthase |
Description: | Strictosidine synthase () is a key enzyme in alkaloid biosynthesis. It catalyses the Pictet-Spengler stereospecific condensation of tryptamine with secologanin to form strictosidine []. The structure of the native enzyme from the Indian medicinal plant Rauvolfia serpentina(Serpentwood) (Devilpepper) represents the first example of a six-bladed four-stranded beta-propeller fold from the plant kingdom []. | Short Name: | Strictosidine_synthase |
