Strictosidine synthases catalyze the Pictet-Spengler condensation of tryptamine and secologanin producing the (S)-strictosidine. Changing the substrate to short-chain aliphatic aldehydes results in an inverted stereopreference. Check out the poster!

Possessing pharmacological activities, ergot alkaloids are attractive for #drugindustry. Wouldn’t it be great to have a simple synthesis route? Bettina Eggbauer from the #elkcrew investigates an in vitro #productionplatform for ergot alkaloid derived APIs. #biocatalysis #YCS20
