Bicyclogermacrene synthase (EC 4.2.3.100, Ov-TPS4) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E))-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (bicyclogermacrene-forming). [1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate bicyclogermacrene + diphosphate
The enzyme from oregano ( Origanum vulgare ) gives mainly bicyclogermacrene with Mn2+ as a cofactor.
