Pinene synthase
In enzymology, a pinene synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, geranyl diphosphate, and two products, pinene and 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 . Other names in common use include beta-geraniolene synthase, --pinene synthase, and geranyldiphosphate diphosphate lyase . This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis.
