Description
Requires Mn2+ or Zn2+. Mg2+ is less effective than either. 1,8-Cineole is the main product from the enzyme with just traces of other monoterpenoids. The oxygen atom is derived from water. The reaction proceeds via linalyl diphosphate and α-terpineol, the stereochemistry of both depends on the organism. However neither intermediate can substitute for geranyl diphosphate. The reaction in Salvia officinalis (sage) proceeds via (–)-(3R)-linalyl diphosphate while that in Arabidopsis (rock cress) proceeds via (+)-(3S)-linalyl diphosphate.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC~-80 ºC.
Synonyms
1,8-cineole cyclase; geranyl pyrophoshate:1,8-cineole cyclase; 1,8-cineole synthetase
Reaction
geranyl diphosphate + H2O = 1,8-cineole + diphosphate
