Mutational Analysis of (+)-Limonene Synthase.

Abstract excerpt

The monoterpene limonene is produced by the enzyme limonene synthase in one of the simplest terpene cyclization reactions. The enzyme can use linalyl diphosphate (LPP) and neryl diphosphate (NPP) as substrates in addition to the naturally occurring substrate geranyl diphosphate (GPP), but the relationship among the three alternative substrates is not well understood. We explored the (+)-limonene synthase ((+)-LS)...
