Abstract

Two pathways exist for the biosynthesis of the terpene monomers dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) and isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP): the mevalonate pathway [1] and the deoxyxylulose phosphate (DOX) pathway.[2, 3] Many pathogenic bacteria and the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum exclusively use the DOX pathway, which is essential in these organisms.[4, 5] Since this pathway is not present in humans, its enzymes represent ...
