== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The Diels-Alder reaction is one of the most effective methods for the synthesis of substituted cyclohexenes. The development of protein catalysts for this reaction remains a major priority, affording new sustainable routes to high value target molecules. Whilst a small number of natural enzymes have been shown capable of catalysing [4 + 2] cycloadditions, there is a need for significant mechanistic understanding of how these prospective Diels-Alderases promote catalysis to underpin their development as biocatalysts for use in synthesis. Here we present a molecular description of the complete reaction cycle of the bona fide natural Diels-Alderase AbyU, which catalyses formation of the spirotetronate skeleton of the antibiotic abyssomicin C. This description is derived from X-ray crystallographic studies of AbyU in complex with a non-transformable synthetic substrate analogue, together with transient kinetic analyses of the AbyU catalysed reaction and computational reaction simulations. These studies reveal the mechanistic intricacies of this enzyme system and establish a foundation for the informed reengineering of AbyU and related biocatalysts.
