In enzymology an isoprene synthase (EC 4.2.3.27) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactiondimethylallyl diphosphate isoprene + diphosphateHence this enzyme has one substrate dimethylallyl diphosphate and two products isoprene and diphosphate.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-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase (isoprene-forming).
