Fig. 1From: Enzymatic process optimization for the in vitro production of isoprene from mevalonateThe purified enzymes of the lower MVA pathway. a Pathway overview. The lower MVA pathway consists of 5 enzymatic reactions each catalyzed by MVK (mevalonate kinase, EC 2.7.1.36), PMK (phoshpomevalonate kinase, EC 2.7.4.2), MVD (diphoshpomevalonate kinase, EC 4.1.1.33), IDI (isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase, EC 5.3.3.2) and ISPS (isoprene synthase, EC 4.2.3.27). b The size of the purified enzymesBack to article page
