The enzyme (+)-δ-cadinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.13) catalyzes the chemical reaction
- (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (+)-δ-cadinene + diphosphate
This enzyme belongs to the family of
.δ-Cadinene synthase, a
cadinene and releases pyrophosphate
.
δ-Cadinene synthase is one of the key steps in the synthesis of
dietary protein for developing countries.[1]
