Glossary: |
cyclopeptine = (3S)-3-benzyl-4-methyl-3,4-dihydro-1H-1,4-benzodiazepine-2,5-dione |
Systematic name: |
S-adenosyl-L-methionine:anthranilate:L-phenylalanine ligase (cyclopeptine forming) |
Comments: |
Cyclopeptine synthase is the key enzyme of benzodiazepine alkaloid biosynthesis in the fungus Penicillium cyclopium. The enzyme is a non-ribosomal peptide synthase. |
