Terpinolene synthase is a Mg2+-dependent (Mn2+ less effective and changes product ratio) monoterpene cyclase. It cyclizes geranyl diphosphate into terpinolene and diphosphate, forming traces of other monoterpenoids. It appears in viruses and cellular organisms. Structurally it is a monoterpene cyclase.
