2 (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + NADPH + H+ | specific for, the enzyme catalyzes a head-to-head condensation reaction (1'-2,3-linked) between two molecules of farnesyl diphosphate (C15) forms a cyclopropylcarbinyl intermediate, presqualene diphosphate. The subsequent conversion of presqualene diphosphate to squalene involves an extensive rearrangement of the carbon skeleton and an NADPH-dependent reduction reaction | Methylococcus capsulatus | squalene + 2 diphosphate + NADP+ | - |

additional information | functional analyses of the enzyme's two DXXD(E)D motifs and the highly conserved aromatic amino acid residues, kinetic analysis and reaction mechanism, overview. The potential active-site residues 58DXX61E62D (S1 site) and 213DXX216D217D (S2 site) are assumed to be involved in the binding of the substrate farnesyl diphosphate through the Mg2+ ion. The S1 site and the two basic residues R55 and K212 are responsible for the binding of farnesyl diphosphate | Methylococcus capsulatus |
