Isotope sensitive branching and kinetic isotope effects to analyse multiproduct terpenoid synthases from Zea mays

Multiproduct terpene synthases TPS4-B73 and TPS5-Delprim from Zea mays exhibit isotopically sensitive branching in the formation of mono- and sesquiterpene volatiles. The impact of the kinetic isotope effects and the stabilization of the reactive intermediates by hyperconjugation along with the shift of products from alkenes to alcohols are discussed.
