C-Glycosides, in which a sugar moiety is linked via a carbon-carbon (C-C) bond to a non-sugar moiety (aglycone), are found in our food and medicine. The C-C bond is cleaved by intestinal microbes and the resulting aglycones exert various bioactivities. Although the enzymes responsible for the reactions have been identified, their catalytic mechanisms and the generality of the reactions in nature remain to be explored. Here, we present the identification and structural basis for the activation of ...[more]
