Through the concerted action of enzyme s that are assembled into metabolic pathways\, nature creates enormous che mical complexity from simple starting materials. This talk will highlight the discovery process for enzymes that catalyze unusual or unprecedented e nzymatic transformations\, mechanistic and structural characterization of these enzymes\, and methods by which these enzymes can be harnessed for me tabolic engineering to generate pharmacological important compounds. A var iety of different plants and molecules are used for these studies\, most n otably the monoterpene indole alkaloids and the monoterpenes known as irid oids. \n\n \n DTSTART:20211109T180000Z DTEND:20211109T193000Z LOCATION:Zoom link: https://mcgill.zoom.us/j/89078043017?pwd=SEh2czZDdkg1VW FmQUQzLzBWbzZLQT09 SUMMARY:Chemical Society Seminar: Sarah O'Connor - HARNESSING THE CHEMISTRY OF PLANT NATURAL PRODUCT BIOSYNTHESIS URL:/chemistry/channels/event/chemical-society-seminar -sarah-oconnor-harnessing-chemistry-plant-natural-product-biosynthesis-333 262 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
