Syn-copalyl-diphosphate synthase

Syn-copalyl-diphosphate synthase (, OsCyc1, OsCPSsyn, syn-CPP synthase, syn-copalyl diphosphate synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name 9alpha-copalyl-diphosphate lyase (decyclizing). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * geranylgeranyl diphosphate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 9alpha-copalyl diphosphate

This enzyme requires a divalent metal ion, preferably Mg2+, for activity.
