4.2.3.55 | (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (S)-beta-bisabolene + diphosphate |
The synthesis of (S)-beta-macrocarpene from (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate proceeds in two steps. The first step is the cyclization to (S)-beta-bisabolene. The second steps is the isomerization to (S)-beta-macrocarpene (c.f. EC 5.5.1.a, (S)-beta-macrocarpene synthase). The enzyme requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity. |
