α-Terpinene synthase (EC 4.2.3.115) is an enzyme with systematic name geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (cyclizing, α-terpinene-forming).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- geranyl diphosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] α-terpinene + diphosphate
The enzyme has been characterized from Dysphania ambrosioides (American wormseed).
