AI Article Synopsis
- The study examined the energy feasibility of a proposed method for creating voacafricine A and B, two unique compounds found in certain fruits.
- The research utilized density functional theory to perform computational analysis on the biogenetic pathway.
- Findings revealed that the original pathway is energetically unviable, suggesting the need for a different biosynthetic precursor.
Article Abstract
The energetic viability of the previously proposed biogenetic pathway for the formation of two unique monoterpenoid indole alkaloids, voacafricine A and B, which are present in the fruits of , was investigated using density functional theory computations. The results of these calculations indicate that not only is the previously suggested pathway not energetically viable but also that an alternative biosynthetic precursor is likely.
