polyterpeenejä
Polyterpenes are a class of organic compounds that are synthesized from multiple isoprene units, which are five-carbon building blocks that compound the structural diversity of terpenoid chemistry. The term polyterpene refers to any terpene molecule containing at least two or more isoprene units that are linked in a chain or a cyclic arrangement. Unlike simple terpenes such as monoterpenes (C10) and sesquiterpenes (C15), polyterpenes can have a wide range of carbon skeletons, often incorporating hundreds of carbon atoms in large, complex architectures.
Polyterpenes are produced extensively in nature, especially by plants, fungi, and microorganisms. They are typically found
Common natural examples of polyterpenes include diterpenes such as taxol and gibberellins, and more extensive compounds
