Geranyl diphosphate diphosphatase

Geranyl diphosphate diphosphatase (EC 3.1.7.11, geraniol synthase', geranyl pyrophosphate pyrophosphatase) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * geranyl diphosphate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ geraniol + diphosphate

This enzyme is isolated from Ocimum basilicum (basil) and Cinnamomum tenuipile (camphor tree).
