Application

  • Odor compound prioritization in water: A study employed machine learning models combined with non-target analysis to prioritize odorous compounds like 2-Methylisoborneol in surface water, enhancing the effectiveness of environmental monitoring and treatment strategies (Huang et al., 2024).
  • Water treatment with carbon materials: The study explored the use of Spirulina-based carbon materials as adsorbents for removing 2-Methylisoborneol from drinking water, also assessing the cyto-genotoxic effects, thus contributing to safer and more effective water treatment solutions (Antonopoulou et al., 2024).
  • Quantification in aquaculture: Improved methods for quantifying 2-Methylisoborneol in farmed fish were developed using stable isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, facilitating better management of water quality in aquaculture environments (Dupre et al., 2024).

The crystal structure of 2-methylisoborneol synthase (MIBS) from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) has been determined in complex with substrate analogues geranyl-S-thiolodiphosphate and 2-fluorogeranyl diphosphate at 1.80 and 1.95 Å resolution, respectively. This terpenoid cyclase catalyzes the cyclization of the naturally occurring

When treating water with activated carbon, natural organic matter (NOM) is not only a target for adsorptive removal but also an inhibitory substance that reduces the removal efficiency of trace compounds, such as 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), through adsorption competition. Recently, superfine
