The enzyme acts as a catalyst for an elimination reaction removing the 3-phosphate group from mevalonate 3,5-biphosphate and | The enzyme acts as a catalyst for an elimination reaction removing the 3-phosphate group from mevalonate 3,5-biphosphate and decarboxylases the substrate. My protein is an enzyme that catalyzes a reaction as referenced in the first sentence of my article “Mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate decarboxylase is involved in the recently discovered Thermoplasma-type mevalonate pathway. The enzyme catalyzes the elimination of the 3- phosphate group from mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate as well as concomitant decarboxylation of the substrate.” | ||

The article only really talks about how the ligand, like a fatty acid, lacks an ATP binding site. It also talks about the necessity of the ligand being amphipathic as there are hydrophilic and hydrophobic charges found in the binding site. | The article only really talks about how the ligand, like a fatty acid, lacks an ATP binding site.
