ID   3.1.1.83
DE   Monoterpene epsilon-lactone hydrolase.
AN   MLH.
CA   Isoprop(en)ylmethyloxepan-2-one + H(2)O =
CA   6-hydroxyisoprop(en)ylmethylhexanoate.
CC   -!- Catalyzes the ring opening of epsilon-lactones which are formed
CC       during degradation of dihydrocarveol by the Gram-positive bacterium
CC       Rhodococcus erythropolis DCL14.
CC   -!- Also acts on ethyl caproate, indicating that it is an esterase with a
CC       preference for lactones (internal cyclic esters).
CC   -!- Not stereoselective.
