dimethylallyl diphosphate + isopentenyl diphosphate |
bifunctional enzyme: geranyldiphosphate synthase (EC 2.5.1.1)/myrcene synthase (EC 4.2.3.15). When the recombinant enzyme is incubated with dimethylallyl diphosphate and isopentenyl diphosphate as cosubstrates, the level of geranyl diphosphate formed is approximately tenfold higher than the level of myrcene formed. The data suggest that geranyl diphosphate is a free intermediate in myrcene production |
