(-)-beta-pinene synthase

(-)-beta-pinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.120, beta-geraniolene synthase, (-)-(1S,5S)-pinene synthase, geranyldiphosphate diphosphate lyase (pinene forming)) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, (-)-beta-pinene-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction geranyl diphosphate (-)-beta-pinene + diphosphate Cyclase II of Salvia officinalis (sage) produces about equal parts (-)-alpha-pinene, (-)-beta-pinene and (-)-camphene.
