Abstract excerpt
Isopentenyl phosphate kinases (IPKs) catalyze the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of isopentenyl monophosphate (IP) to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) in the alternate mevalonate pathways of the archaea and plant cytoplasm. In recent years, IPKs have also been employed in artificial biosynthetic pathways called "(iso) prenol pathways" that utilize promiscuous kinases to sequentially phosphorylate (iso) prenol and...
