INTRODUCTION
Isoprenoid compounds are the most diverse family of metabolites that are found in nature(1). Here we look at IPP isomerase it's activity is found in a large number of essential processes and is a central posistion in terpenoid biosynthesis(1).
MECHANISM
The biological role of Isopentenyl diphosphate-dimethylallyl diphosphate Isomerase is to catalyze the interconversion of IPP and DMAPP(2).The mechanism of isomerization invovles an elecrophilic attack by a proton from the aqueous medium on the IPP double bond this produces a carbocation which is stabalized by the elimination of the C-2 pro-R hydrogen of IPP(1).
