(+)-beta-caryophyllene synthase

(+)-β-Caryophyllene synthase (EC 4.2.3.89, GcoA) is an enzyme with systematic name (2Z,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, (+)-β-caryophyllene-forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (+)-β-caryophyllene + diphosphate
(+)-β-caryophyllene synthase
