additional information
?
-
-
(di)terpene synthases seem to mediate specific reaction outcomes, at least in part, by providing electrostatic effects to counteract those exerted by the diphosphate co-product. Role for the diphosphate anion co-product in the reaction catalyzed by monoterpene cyclases, such as bornyl diphosphate synthase
