Intermolecular Carbon-Carbon Naphthalene Coupling Involves a Radical Mechanism Driven by Cytochrome P450 in Alternaria alternata.
Dihydroxynaphthalene (DHN) derivatives are precursors of biologically important molecules, including melanin and perylenequinones (PQs). Biosynthesis of DHN-derived metabolites requires precise spatial control of radical reactions to form specific C─C or C─O─C bonds. Investigating fungal PQ biosynthesis in Alternaria a...
