Reaction

Reaction Comment Organism Reaction ID
geranyl diphosphate = gamma-terpinene + diphosphate mechanism involves the cyclizazion of the acyclic precursor, loss of a proton from C5 to form the delta4 double bond, and a 1,2-hydride shift fom C4 to C8 to give gamma-terpinene Thymus vulgaris

Storage Stability

Storage Stability Organism
0°C, 40 mM sodium phosphate, 5 mM MgCl2, 0.5 mM dithioerythritol, loss of 60% of activity within 1 week Thymus vulgaris
