'''Mevalonate kinase''' (MK) is the first enzyme in the mevalonate pathway which synthesizes sterol isoprenoids like cholesterol and non-sterol isoprenoids like ubiquinone<ref>PMID:17467679</ref>. MK catalyzes the conversion of mevalonate to 5-phosphomevalonate.

The 3D structure of MK complex with mevalonate shows the enzyme composed of <scene name='86/864102/Cv/2'>2 domains</scene>: The N-terminal and the C-terminal. The mevalonate binds in a <scene name='86/864102/Cv/3'>deep cleft</scene> between the 2 domains forming H-bond interactions with Arg and Tyr residues and several hydrophobic interactions<ref>PMID:17397541</ref>.
