TLDR
An extended functional analysis of CYP76 family members was carried-out to identify the most effective enzyme to be used for pathway reconstruction, and CyP76B6 emerged as a highly specialized multifunctional enzyme catalyzing two sequential oxidation steps leading to the formation of 8-oxogeraniol from geraniol.
