Alpha-longipinene synthase (original) (raw)

α-Longipinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.80) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (α-longipinene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate α-longipinene + diphosphate The enzyme from Norway spruce produces longifolene as the main product.
