General Information | Comment | Organism |

additional information | the substrates are embedded inside a hydrophobic channel between two monomers of the (alpha,alpha)6 barrel fold class and flanked by three clusters of polar residues involved in acid-base catalysis, modelling of the cytosolic enzyme domain. The substrate binding site in (alpha,alpha)6 barrel enzymes is embedded inside a cavity at the barrel entrance whereas the substrate cavity in Ldi is partly capped by the irregular segment 36'-52' of the neighbor monomer of the homopentamer | Castellaniella defragrans |
physiological function | linalool dehydratase/isomerase (Ldi), an enzyme of terpene degradation in Castellaniella defragrans, isomerizes the primary monoterpene alcohol geraniol into the tertiary alcohol (3S)-linalool and dehydrates (3S)-linalool to the alkene beta-myrcene | Castellaniella defragrans |
