During the past three decades many terpene synthases have been characterised from all kingdoms of life. The type I of these enzymes from bacteria, fungi and protists commonly exhibit several highly conserved motifs and single residues, and the available crystal structures show a shared -helical fold, while the overall sequence identity is generally low. Several enzymes have been studied by site-directed mutagenesis, giving valuable insights into terpene synthase catalysis and the intriguing mechanisms of terpene synthases. Some mutants are also preparatively useful and give higher yields than the wildtype or a different product that is otherwise difficult to access. The accumulated knowledge obtained from these studies is presented and discussed in this review.
