1-deoxypentalenic-acid

Pentalenene oxygenase from Streptomyces avermitilis is an oxidoreductase which uses molecular oxygen to insert a hydroxy group into 1-deoxypentalenic acid.[2] It requires ferredoxin to transfer electrons to the cytochrome P450 active site.[3]

Structure of pentalenolactone

The starting material is made as part of the biosynthetic pathway to pentalenolactone.[4]
