GONUTS is under stress! The website is currently experiencing long-wait times and frequent time-outs due to the record number of students, groups, and annotations related to CACAO this semester. We are currently working on increasing performance -- please accept our apologies for the technical difficulties.
You can help reduce stress on the server by:
- not reloading pages frequently - this just adds
- opening links in new windows (so you can read the old page)
Category:GO:0046905 ! phytoene synthase activity
name: phytoene synthase activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Catalysis of the reaction: prephytoene pyrophosphate = phytoene + diphosphate." [GOC:ai, PMID:12641468]
comment: Note that this should not be confused with 'geranylgeranyl-diphosphate geranylgeranyltransferase activity ; GO:0016767', EC:2.5.1.32. This activity is the second part of the formation of phytoene from geranylgeranyl-diphosphate, the first stage of which is catalyzed by EC:2.5.1.32.
