## Abstract Berberine bridge enzyme (BBE) catalyses the oxidative formation of an intramolecular Cο£ΏC bond using (__S__)βreticuline as the natural substrate to form (__S__)βscoulerine as the product. To allow application of the enzyme on a preparative scale for the synthesis of novel optically pure
## Abstract **Last at last**: The terminal step of the gilvocarcin V (GV) biosynthetic pathway is an unusual lactone formation. Here we show that the enzyme, GilR, dehydrogenates the hemiacetal moiety of pregilvocarcin V to the lactone found in GV by using covalently bound FAD.magnified image
