Simulation of structural and functional properties of mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase (MVD).

Journal of molecular modeling - 1 Mar 2010

Weerasinghe Samantha, Samantha Dassanayake Ranil

Abstract excerpt

Mevalonate 5-diphosphate decarboxylase (MVD) is an important enzyme in the mevalonate pathway catalyzing the ATP-dependent decarboxylation of mevalonate 5-diphosphate (MDP) to yield isopentynyl diphosphate (IPP) which is an ubiquitous precursor for isoprenoids and sterols. Although there are studies to show the involvement of certain amino acid residues in MVD activity, the structure and the function of the...
