Sarpagan bridge enzyme has substrate-controlled cyclization and aromatization modes, Published online: 25 June 2018; doi:10.1038/s41589-018-0078-4
Three homologous cytochrome P450s from monoterpene indole alkaloid-producing plants enable the identification of sarpagan bridge enzyme, which catalyzes either cyclization or aromatization to yield sarpagan or β-carboline alkaloids, respectively.
