Nonenzymatic biosynthetic reactions are difficult to characterize because of their reactivity and their occlusion within the cellular environment.
Nonenzymatic biosynthetic steps can arise from the inherent chemical reactivity of metabolic intermediates and substrates without enzyme involvement.
The review classifies nonenzymatic natural product biosynthetic reactions into four categories: intramolecular, multicomponent, tailoring, and light-induced reactions.
