2-Oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases in the biosynthesis of simple coumarins
Coumarins are natural plant products that have been the subject of extensive phytochemical and pharmacological research studies in the past few decades. The core structure of coumarins, 2H-1-benzopyran-2-one, is derived from the respective cinnamates via ortho-hydroxylation of the aromatic ring, tr...
