Geraniol isomerase (EC 5.4.4.4) is an enzyme with systematic name geraniol hydroxymutase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

geraniol [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] (3S)-linalool

In absence of oxygen the bifunctional linalool dehydratase-isomerase could act as an enzyme from this class.
