show Brenda entryEC number
4.2.3.85
Accepted name
α-eudesmol synthase
Reaction
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O = α-eudesmol + diphosphate
Systematic name
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (α-eudesmol-forming)
Comment
The recombinant enzyme from ginger (Zingiber zerumbet) gives 62.6% β-eudesmol, 16.8% 10-epi-γ-eudesmol, 10% α-eudesmol, and 5.6% aristolene. cf. EC 4.2.3.68 (β-eudesmol synthase) and EC 4.2.3.84 (10-epi-γ-eudesmol synthase)
