21. Enantiomeric products derived from 4, 5, 7, and 8 were successfully separated (Supplementary data), but enantiomeric products derived from 6 could not be separated despite testing many chromatography conditions.

24. Computational studies (11a) suggest the spiroindolenine intermediate is not a productive intermediate; attack from indole C2 to directly form 14 is the productive mechanism.
25. Kinetic isotope effects suggest the Pictet-Spengler reaction is reversible prior to the final deprotonation step (11a).
26. Point mutation of Phe226 (Figure 1B) to numerous ionizable residues did not impact the stereoselectivity of the reaction. More extensive mutagenesis of STS is underway to experimentally validate this hypothesis.
