EC 4.2.3.26     
Accepted name: R-linalool synthase
Reaction: geranyl diphosphate + H2O = (3R)-linalool + diphosphate
For diagram of acyclic monoterpenoid biosynthesis, click here
Glossary: (3R)-linalool = (3R)-3,7-dimethylocta-1,6-dien-3-ol
Other name(s): (3R)-linalool synthase; (–)-3R-linalool synthase
Systematic name: geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(3R)-linalool-forming]
Comments: Geranyl diphosphate cannot be replaced by isopentenyl diphosphate (3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl diphosphate), prenyl diphosphate, farnesyl diphosphate or geranylgeranyl diphosphate as substrate [1]. Requires Mg2+ or Mn2+ for activity. Unlike many other monoterpene synthases, only a single product, (3R)-linalool, is formed.
