Title:
METHOD FOR THE BIOCATALYTIC CYCLISATION OF TERPENES AND CYCLASE MUTANTS WHICH CAN BE USED IN SAID METHOD
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/066059
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to novel types of mutants with cyclase-activity and to the use thereof in a method for the biocatalytic cyclisation of terpenes, such as, in particular, for producing isopulegol by the cyclisation of citronellal; to a method for producing menthol and methods for the biocatalytic conversion of other compounds with terpene type structural motifs.
