Research Abstract |
Plants produce many thousands of terpenes for certain essential physiological roles. The enormous number and diversity of terpenes in plants is though to arise from diversities of precoursor-producing enzymes, terpene synthases and terpene-modifying enzymes. We performed identification, cloning, and characterization of these enzymes from Citrus unshiu, Camellia sinensis, etc. Especially, we determined the structure of terpene alcohol dehydrogenase complexed with substrate and coenzyme.
