Oxidative rearrangement of (+)-sesamin by CYP92B14 co-generates twin dietary lignans in sesame
Sesame seeds contain phenylpropanoid-derived lignans that are potentially beneficial to human health. Here, the authors clone a cytochrome P450 enzyme that is responsible for the last steps of sesame lignan biosynthesis and show that it acts through a novel oxidative rearrangement mechanism.
