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. | 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. This ATP binding site present in Mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate's likely evolutionary predecessors has been bound to by a ligand similar to a fatty acid. | ||

Mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate is a homodimer made up of <scene name='93/934001/Secondary/1'>40% alpha helices and 60% beta-sheets</scene>. Because Mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate is a homodimer both molecules present are <scene name='93/934001/Quat/1'>identical</scene> in primary, secondary, and tertiary structure. Mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate is amphipathic as showcased by the surplus of hydrophobic as well as hydrophilic amino acids present in its <scene name='93/934001/Active_site/2'>Active Site</scene>. This<scene name='93/934001/Active_site/4'> view</scene> also shows us the large cleft for substrate binding present on the molecule. | Mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate is a homodimer made up of <scene name='93/934001/Secondary/1'>40% alpha helices and 60% beta-sheets</scene>.
