Figure 2.
Theoretical formation of GGPP/casbene and OH-GGPP/16-OH-casbene. (A) Condensation of dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) and isopentyl pyrophosphate (IPP) to form GGPP and cyclisation by casbene synthase to form casbene. (B) Condensation of HMBPP and IPP to form OH-GGPP and cyclisation by casbene synthase to form 16-OH-casbene.
