S-linalool synthase

The enzyme S-linalool synthase (EC 4.2.3.25) catalyzes the chemical reaction


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

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(3S)-linalool-forming]. Other names in common use include LIS, Lis, and 3S-linalool synthase.
