This article’s goal was to test the function and relation of the protein Mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate and compare it to its homologs. The article seeks to explore the evolutionary changes that the protein has gone through that managed to separate it from its suspected evolutionary predecessors which require ATP to function and allowed it to become ATP-independent. This suspected evolutionary relevance is due to the residual signs of the ATP binding site which are still present in the Mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate despite the protein being completely ATP-independent. | |||

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.
