ent-Pimara-9(11),15-diene synthase (EC 4.2.3.31, PMD synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name ent-copalyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (ent-pimara-9(11),15-diene-forming).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- ent-copalyl diphosphate ent-pimara-9(11),15-diene + diphosphate
This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the diterpenoid viguiepinol and requires Mg2+, Co2+, Zn2+ or Ni2+ for activity.
