Accepted name: |
(+)-isoafricanol synthase |
Reaction: |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O = (+)-isoafricanol + diphosphate |
Glossary: |
(+)-isoafricanol = (1aS,4aR,5R,7aS,7bR)-3,3,5,7b-tetramethyldecahydro-4aH-cyclopropa[e]azulen-4a-ol |
Systematic name: |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (+)-isoafricanol-forming] |
Comments: |
(+)-Isoafricanol is a sesquiterpene alcohol. Its synthesis has been shown to occur in the bacteria Streptomyces violaceusniger and Streptomyces malaysiensis. |
