Glossary: |
(+)-δ-selinene = (4aR)-1,4a-dimethyl-7-(propan-2-yl)-2,3,4,4a,5,6-hexahydronaphthalene |
Systematic name: |
(2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(+)-δ-selinene-forming] |
Comments: |
Initial cyclization gives germacrene C in an enzyme bound form which is not released to the medium. |
