Glossary: |
(+)-epi-α-bisabolol = (2S)-6-methyl-2-[(1R)-4-methylcyclohex-3-en-1-yl]hept-5-en-2-ol |
Systematic name: |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, (+)-epi-α-bisabolol-forming) |
Comments: |
Isolated from the plant Phyla dulcis (Aztec sweet herb). (+)-epi-α-Bisabolol is the precursor of the sweetener hernandulcin. |
