FunctionIsopentenyl-diphosphate delta-isomerase (IPPI) catalyzes the conversion of the un-reactive isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) to the more reactive dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). 3,4-epoxy-3-methyl butyl diphosphate (EIPP) is an irreversible inhibitor of IPPI. IPPI participates in isoprenoid biosynthesis[1]. See also Mevalonate pathway Structural highlightsE. coli IPPI contains [2]. Water molecules shown as red spheres. . .
