So pleased to share this work on alkaloid biosynthesis.
Great collaboration with @unsworthchem.bsky.social. Well done to all authors. We have found key alkaloid producing enzymes that look like those normally found in bacteria.

New paper out today on alkaloid (bio)synthesis with @unsworthchem.bsky.social . Dr Lachlan Waddell made ten bioactive securinine alkaloids using "biomimetic" total synthesis - a strategy that we think is analogous to the plant makes the alkaloids by biosynthesis. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...
Biomimetic Total Synthesis of Ten Securinega Alkaloids
The Securinega alkaloids are a diverse family of polycyclic alkaloids with broad biological importance. In this study, a formal [4+2] cycloaddition strategy has been used to complete the biomimetic to...
