Preferred Label : caryophyllene cyclase;
MeSH note : catalyzes the cyclization of farnesyl pyrophosphate, probably by intramolecular electrophilic
attack by C-1 bearing the pyrophosphate ester on C-11 of the terminal double bond
to give a humulyl cation, which undergoes closure to a cyclobutyl intermediate and
deprotonation at C-3 methyl to form (-) caryophyllene; MW 57 kDa;
