Abstract
Pictet-Spenglerases catalyze key condensation/cyclization reactions between aromatic ethylamines and aldehydes in the biosynthesis of alkaloids. In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Mori et al. (2015) report the structural elucidation of a novel type of Pictet-Spenglerase involved in the biosynthesis of the β-carboline alkaloids.
