EC 4.2.3.73     
Accepted name: valencene synthase
Reaction: (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = (+)-valencene + diphosphate
For diagram of eremophilane and spirovetivane sesquiterpenoid biosynthesis, click here
Systematic name: (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (valencene-forming)
Comments: The recombinant enzyme from Vitis vinifera gave 49.5% (+)-valencene and 35.5% (-)-7-epi-α-selinene. Initial cyclization gives (+)-germacrene A in an enzyme bound form which is not released to the medium.
