METHOD OF PRODUCING (-)-ROTUNDONE
The present invention provides a method of producing (−)-rotundone from α-guaiene. The method includes the steps of: (1) allowing a cytochrome P450 protein to act on α-guaiene, which cytochrome P450 belongs to the CYP152 family and is capable of oxidizing the methylene group at position 3 of α-guaiene to the carbonyl group; and/or (2) allowing a cytochrome P450 protein to act on α-guaiene in the presence of an electron transfer protein capable of transferring electrons to the cytochrome P450 protein, which cytochrome P450 belongs to the CYP152, CYP106, or CYP107 family and is capable of oxidizing the methylene group at position 3 of α-guaiene to the carbonyl group.

Molecular host frameworks and methods of making and using same
Crystalline molecular framework:small molecule compounds. The molecular framework is formed from guanidinium cations and organosulfonate anions and the guanidinium cations and organosulfonate anions are associated via one or more hydrogen bond. The small molecule(s) is/are encapsulated by the molecular framework. Methods for making crystalline molecular framework:small molecule compounds may include combining guanidinium cations, organosulfonate anions, and small molecules in a single step. The crystalline molecular framework:small molecule compounds can be used to determine the structure of the small molecule(s).
