R-linalool synthase

EC Tree > 4 Lyases > 4.2 Carbon-oxygen lyases > 4.2.3 Acting on phosphates > 4.2.3.26 R-linalool synthase
R-Linalool synthase is a Mg2+-/Mn2+-dependent monoterpene cyclase. Geranyl diphosphate cannot be replaced by isopentenyl diphosphate, dimethylallyl diphosphate, farnesyl diphosphate or geranylgeranyl diphosphate. Unlike many monoterpene synthases it forms only (3R)-linalool. With water it converts geranyl diphosphate into (3R)-linalool and diphosphate. It is found in Eukaryota and Bacteria. Structurally it is a monoterpene synthase.
