ENZYME entry: EC 4.2.3.24

Accepted Name
amorpha-4,11-diene synthase
Alternative Name(s)
amorphadiene synthase
Reaction catalysed
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate <=> (+)-amorpha-4,11-diene + diphosphate
Comment(s)
  • A key enzyme in the biosynthesis of the antimalarial endoperoxide artemisinin.
  • Catalyzes the formation of both olefinic and oxygenated sesquiterpenes, with amorpha-4,11-diene being the major product.
  • When geranyl diphosphate is used as a substrate, no monoterpenes are produced.
