Beta-copaene synthase

β-Copaene synthase (EC 4.2.3.127, cop4) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, β-copaene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ β-copaene + diphosphate

This enzyme is isolated from the fungus Coprinus cinereus.
