The invention relates to a non-natural cannabinoid synthase comprising at least one amino acid variation as compared to a wild type cannabinoid synthase THCAS, comprising three alpha helices (αA, αB and αC) where a disulfide bond is not formed between alpha helix αA and alpha helix αC, wherein the non-natural cannabinoid synthase catalyzes the oxidative cyclization of CBGA into a cannabinoid. The invention further relates to a non-natural THCAS, a non-natural CBDAS, and a non-natural CBCAS. The invention also relates to a nucleic acid, expression construct, and engineered cell for making the non-natural THCAS, CBDAS, and/or CBCAS. Also provided are compositions comprising the non-natural THCAS, CBDAS, and/or CBCAS; isolated non-natural THCAS, CBDAS, and/or CBCAS enzymes; methods of making the isolated enzymes; cell extracts comprising cannabinoids; and methods of making cannabinoids.
