Beta-copaene synthase

Beta-copaene synthase (EC 4.2.3.127, cop4) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, beta-copaene-forming).^[1]^[2]^[3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate

\rightleftharpoons

beta-copaene + diphosphate

This enzyme is isolated from the fungus Coprinus cinereus.
