Structural Evidence for the Dopamine-First Mechanism of Norcoclaurine Synthase

[Image: see text] Norcoclaurine synthase (NCS) is a Pictet-Spenglerase that catalyzes the first key step in plant benzylisoquinoline alkaloid metabolism, a compound family that includes bioactive natural products such as morphine. The enzyme has also shown great potential as a biocatalyst for the fo...
