Geraniol isomerase explained

Geraniol isomerase
Ec Number:	5.4.4.4

Geraniol isomerase is an enzyme with systematic name geraniol hydroxymutase.^{[1] [2]} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

geraniol

\rightleftharpoons (3S)-linalool

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