In enzymology a biphenyl synthase (EC 2.3.1.177) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:3 malonyl-CoA + benzoyl-CoA 4 CoA + 35-dihydroxybiphenyl + 4 CO2Thus the two substrates of this enzyme are malonyl-CoA and benzoyl-CoA whereas its 3 products are CoA 35-dihydroxybiphenyl and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases specifically those acyltransferases transferring groups other than aminoacyl groups.
