Scheme 3.

Scheme 3

Two different folded conformations of the hydrocarbon chain in the active site of TDS can both give the final product trichodiene. However, only the folding shown in (a) agrees with the labeling experiments given in Scheme 2. The distinguishable hydrogens are colored red and blue, while the distinguishable methyl groups are presented as red and blue spheres.
