(+)-Cubenene synthase (EC 4.2.3.63) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase ((+)-cubenene-forming).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] (+)-cubenene + diphosphate

This enzyme requires presence of Mg2+.
