EC 4.2.3.72 Details
EC number
4.2.3.72
Accepted name
α-gurjunene synthase
Reaction
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (-)-α-gurjunene + diphosphate
Systematic name
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(-)-α-gurjunene-forming]
Comment
Initial cyclization probably gives biyclogermacrene in an enzyme bound form which is not released to the medium. The enzyme from Solidago canadensis also forms a small amount of (+)-γ-gurjunene [1].
History
