Alpha-gurjunene synthase

Alpha-gurjunene synthase () is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase ((-)-alpha-gurjunene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

 (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate  (-)-alpha-gurjunene + diphosphate

Initial cyclization probably gives biyclogermacrene in an enzyme bound form.
