Alpha-bisabolene synthase (EC 4.2.3.38 bisabolene synthase) is an enzyme with system name (2E6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase ((E)-alpha-bisabolene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction (2E6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (E)-alpha-bisabolene + diphosphateThis synthase requires a divalent cation cofactor (Mg2+ or to a lesser extent Mn2+) to neutralize the negative charge of the diphosphate leaving group.
