The protein of interest is the enzyme <scene name='93/934003/Protein_of_interest/1'>mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate decarboxylase (MBD)</scene>. The MBD enzyme was observed in Thermoplasma-type MVA pathway, specifically as a catalytic enzyme in the MBD reaction. The function of MBD is to catalyze the removal of the phosphate group from the 3rd carbon of mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate (MVA3,5BP). The enzyme also accompanies the decarboxylation of the substrate. MBD acts upon MVA3,5BP to produce isopentnyl phosphate (IP), PO4, and CO2 in the MBD reaction. | The protein of interest is the enzyme <scene name='93/934003/Protein_of_interest/1'>mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate decarboxylase (MBD)</scene>.
