Four synthetic FPP analogues were converted by three robust bacterial sesquiterpene synthases, yielding previously unknown compounds with high stereoselectivity, which demonstrates that this approach can open the doors to chemical terra incognita. The altered or partially blocked reactivity in the substrates also gave interesting insights into the enzyme mechanisms which adds to our understanding of
