In [[enzymology]], a '''S-linalool synthase''' ({{EC number|4.2.3.25}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:geranyl diphosphate + H<sub>2</sub>O <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> (3S)-linalool + diphosphate

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[geranyl diphosphate]] and [[water|H<sub>2</sub>O]], whereas its two [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[(3S)-linalool]] and [[diphosphate]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[lyase]]s, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''geranyl-diphosphate diphosphate-lyase [(3S)-linalool-forming]'''. Other names in common use include '''LIS''', '''Lis''', and '''3S-linalool synthase'''.
