(−)-δ-cadinene synthase 4.2.3.97
(−)-δ-Cadinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.97) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, (−)-δ-cadinene-forming). Hu Y, Chou WK, Hopson R, Cane DE Genome mining in Streptomyces clavuligerus: expression and biochemical characterization of two new cryptic sesquiterpene synthases Chemistry & Biology 18 1 32–7 January 2011 21276937 3034312 10.1016/j.chembiol.2010.11.008 This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (−)-δ-cadinene + diphosphate
The cyclization mechanism involves an intermediate nerolidyl diphosphate.
