| Accepted name: |
S-linalool synthase |
| Reaction: |
geranyl diphosphate + H2O = (3S)-linalool + diphosphate |
|

| Glossary: |
(3S)-linalool = (3S)-3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-ol |
| Other name(s): |
LIS; Lis; 3S-linalool synthase |
| Systematic name: |
geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(3S)-linalool-forming] |
| Comments: |
Requires Mn2+ or Mg2+ for activity. Neither (S)- nor (R)-linalyl diphosphate can act as substrate for the enzyme from the flower Clarkia breweri [1]. Unlike many other monoterpene synthases, only a single product, (3S)-linalool, is formed. |
