Congratulations to Matthew Gaynes, a graduate student in Penn Chemistry’s Christianson Group, on the outstanding cryo-EM analysis of a class II assembly-line terpene synthase, specifically the copalyl diphosphate synthase from Penicillium fellutanum. This remarkable work has been officially published today in the Journal of Structural Biology!
