Visualizing the enzyme mechanism of mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase

Mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase (MDD) is a key enzyme in the mevalonate pathway and catalyses the decarboxylation of mevalonate-5-diphosphate to isopentenyl diphosphate. Here, the authors provide insights into the conformational changes that occur during substrate binding of MDD and the subsequ...
