7-dimethylallyltryptophan synthase (EC 2.5.1.80, 7-DMATS) is an enzyme with systematic name dimethylallyl-diphosphate:L-tryptophan 7-dimethylallyltransferase.[1] It catalyses the following chemical reaction which adds a prenyl group from dimethylallyl pyrophosphate to L-tryptophan, specifically in its 7-position, giving 7-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-L-tryptophan, with pyrophosphate (PPi) as byproduct:[2]

7-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-L-tryptophan

This enzyme characterised from Aspergillus fumigatus is more flexible towards the aromatic substrate than tryptophan dimethylallyltransferase.[3]
