5.4.4.4 |
Accepted name: |

Reaction: |
geraniol = (3S)-linalool |
|

Systematic name: |
geraniol hydroxymutase |
Comments: |
In absence of oxygen the bifunctional linalool dehydratase-isomerase can catalyse in vitro two reactions, the isomerization of (3S)-linalool to geraniol and the hydration of myrcene to (3S)-linalool, the latter activity being classified as EC 4.2.1.127, linalool dehydratase. |
