Metabolic transformation of mevalonic Acid by an enzyme system from peas

C J Pollard et al. Plant Physiol. 1966 Jan.

Abstract

En enzyme system has been found in peas which converts mevalonic acid to isoprenoid compounds. Among the intermediates in such conversion are mevalonic acid-5-phosphate and pyrophosphate, isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallylpyrophosphate. Among the products formed by the system are the pyrophosphates of geraniol, farnesol, nerolidol and higher isoprenoid alcohols.
