geranyl diphosphate = (+)-camphene + diphosphate
Systematic name
geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [cyclizing, (+)-camphene-forming]
Comment
Cyclase I of Salvia officinalis (sage) gives about equal parts (+)-camphene and (+)-α-pinene. (3R)-Linalyl diphosphate can also be used by the enzyme in preference to (3S)-linalyl diphosphate. Requires Mg2+ (preferred to Mn2+). See also EC 4.2.3.121 (+)-α-pinene synthase.
