| Glossary: |
(+)-β-pinene = (1R,5R)-6,6-dimethyl-2-methylenebicyclo[3.1.1]hept-2-ene |
| Other name(s): |
(+)-pinene cyclase; cyclase III |
| Systematic name: |
geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(+)-β-pinene-forming] |
| Comments: |
Cyclase III from Salvia officinalis (sage) gives roughly equal parts of (+)-β-pinene and (+)-α-pinene. See EC 4.2.3.121, (+)-α-pinene synthase. |
