Isomultiflorenol synthase explained

Isomultiflorenol synthase
Ec Number:	5.4.99.36

Isomultiflorenol synthase (LcIMS1, (S)-2,3-epoxysqualene mutase (cyclizing, isomultiflorenol-forming)) is an enzyme with systematic name (3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualenee mutase (cyclizing, isomultiflorenol-forming).^[1] It catalyses the chemical reaction:

(3S)-2,3-epoxy-2,3-dihydrosqualene

\rightleftharpoons isomultiflorenol
