4.2.3.21 | trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate |
mechanism involves an initial rapid equilibrium of enzyme with substrate to form an enzyme-substrate complex, followed by a slower conversion of farnesyl diphosphate to an enzyme-bound hydrocarbon, and a subsequent rate-limiting step |

4.2.3.21 | trans,trans-farnesyl diphosphate |
infection of Phytophthora infestans with potato tubers causes transient increase in the transcript level of vetispiradiene synthase. Wound-induced expression of the squalene synthase is suppressed in favor of the expression of vetispiradiene synthase |
