KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.3.116
Entry
EC 4.2.3.116                Enzyme                                 
Name
(+)-camphene synthase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Acting on phosphates
Sysname
geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (+)-camphene-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
geranyl diphosphate = (+)-camphene + diphosphate [RN:R09971]
Reaction(KEGG)
R09971
Substrate
geranyl diphosphate [CPD:C00341]
Product
(+)-camphene [CPD:C06304];
diphosphate [CPD:C00013]
Comment
Cyclase I of Salvia officinalis (sage) gives about equal parts (+)-camphene and (+)-alpha-pinene. (3R)-Linalyl diphosphate can also be used by the enzyme in preference to (3S)-linalyl diphosphate. Requires Mg2+ (preferred to Mn2+). See also EC 4.2.3.121 (+)-alpha-pinene synthase.
