NMR SPECTRA	:	The 2H-labeled geraniol gave rise to 2H NMR powder patterns interpretable in terms of quadrupole splittings and splin-lattice relaxation times. Spin-lattice relaxation time measurements revealed high rates of motion for geraniol relative to cholesterol in similar membrane hosts and revealed correlation times close to the fatty acyl methyl termini in phosphatidylcholine.(Ref. 0038)

CHEMICAL SYNTHESIS

METABOLISM

The product derived from geranyl diphosphate. The potential for feedback inhibition by isoprene intermediates in the isoprene biosynthetic pathway was investigated. The relative inhibitory capasity were as follows: GG-PP > F-PP > G-PP > FOH > dol-P. GOH and dolichol were not inhibitors(Ref. 0039).
