various branched-chain allylic primary alcohols, such as nerol, geraniol, and 8-hydroxygeraniol, are substrates, but ethanol is inert. The enzyme is also active with farnesol, 3-methyl-2-buten1-ol, citronellol, 4-isopropylbenzyl alcohol, trans-2-heptenol, and trans-2-hexenol. The enzyme exclusively transfers the pro-R hydrogen of NADPH to neral. No activity with linalool, 2,6-dimethyl-octane, iridodial, 1-octanol, 1-heptanol, 1-pentanol, 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, trans-crotyl alcohol, isopulegol, and menthol |
