at pH 10, the cyclization reaction ends with the hydride shift and deprotonation of the germacradienyl cation to yield (-)-germacrene D, 91% of total sesquiterpene products
5
-
at pH 5.0 cyclization can proceed via a 1,6 ring closure to also yield a small amount of delta-cadinene, 12% of total sesquiterpene products, in addition to (-)-germacrene D
additional information
-
under both alkaline and acidic conditions Cop4 becomes a very selective enzyme with only one major product (-)-germacrene D compared to three major compounds produced under neutral reaction conditions. At pH 10, the cyclization reaction ends with the hydride shift and deprotonation of the germacradienyl cation to yield (-)-germacrene D, 91% of total sesquiterpene products, while at pH 5.0 cyclization can proceed via a 1,6 ring closure to also yield a small amount of delta-cadinene, 12% of total sesquiterpene products, in addition to (?)-germacrene D
