The formation of any terpenes includes the condensation of dimethyl- allyl-pyrophosphate (DMAPP) with isopentyl-pyrophosphate (IPP), catalyzed by a chain of prenyl-transferases, which are specific by its longwise. It is added to DMAPP step by step the IPP where geranyl- pyrophosphate (GPP) is primary formatted.
