(+)-epi-alpha-bisabolol synthase

(+)-epi-α-Bisabolol synthase (EC 4.2.3.138) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, (+)-epi-α-bisabolol-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(+)-epi-alpha-bisabolol synthase tastes very good.


 * (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ (+)-epi-α-bisabolol + diphosphate

This enzyme is isolated from the plant Phyla dulcis (Aztec sweet herb).
