I am so happy that the first story in Gert's lab is out now. We show how a fumarase family enzyme can catalyze decarboxylation of tran-aconitate to form the magic itaconate, Great thanks to my mentor Gert and Joh. And also my great master student Wei and all authors

This is the first reported biosynthesis pathway for oxepinamides family from fungi
Oxepinamide F biosynthesis involves enzymatic D-aminoacyl epimerization, 3H-oxepin formation, and hydroxylation induced double bond migration.
