Reaction mechanism for the conversion of cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) into tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCA) proposed by Taura and cowerkers (2019). a Covalently incorporated flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in black, b THCA synthase pathway is shown in green, and c cannabidiolic acid (CBDA) synthase pathway is shown in purple; CBDA and THCA in red. The red box represents the active site of the enzyme
