Linalool dehydratase

Linalool dehydratase (, linalool hydro-lyase (myrcene-forming)) is an enzyme with systematic name (3S)-linalool hydro-lyase (myrcene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (3S)-linalool $$\rightleftharpoons$$ myrcene + H2O

In absence of oxygen this enzyme can also catalyse the isomerization of (3S)-linalool to geraniol.
