Description
Limonene synthase 1 from Citrus limon (accession AF514287)
Synthesised by Geneart.
Limonene synthase converts farnesyl-diphosphate to + limonene, which is a component of lemon scent.
Notes
several codons were altered silently to remove several forbidden restriction sites. The N-terminal region (plastid targeting sequence) was removed, removing the first 51 amino acids and replacing codon 52 with the start codon ATG
