{{#invoke:Infobox|infobox}} Alpha-gurjunene synthase (EC 4.2.3.72) is an enzyme with system name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase ((-)-alpha-gurjunene-forming).<ref>{{#invoke:Citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=journal }}</ref> This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> (-)-alpha-gurjunene + diphosphate

Initial cyclization probably gives biyclogermacrene in an enzyme bound form.
