Engineering a norcoclaurine synthase for one-step synthesis of (S)-1-aryl-tetrahydroisoquinolines

Abstract Tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids (THIQAs) are ubiquitous compounds with important pharmaceutical and biological activity. Their key N-heterocyclic structural motifs are synthesised via Pictet–Spengler (P–S) reaction by norcoclaurine synthases (NCS) in plants. The synthesis of 1-aryl-tetrahy...
