Isoprene synthase
In enzymology, an isoprene synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, and two products, isoprene and pyrophosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. The systematic name of this enzyme class is dimethylallyl-pyrophosphate pyrophosphate-lyase . Other names in common use include ISPC, and ISPS.
