Allene oxide cyclase


In enzymology, an allene-oxide cyclase is an enzyme that belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically a class of other intramolecular oxidoreductases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is --12,13-epoxyoctadeca-9,11,15-trienoate isomerase .
The allene oxide of linolenic acid - is converted by allene oxide cyclase to jasmonic acid.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 6 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes,,,,, and.
