Studies on the nonmevalonate pathway:: formation of 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate from 2-phospho-4-(cytidine 5′-diphospho)-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol

2-Phospho-4-(cytidine 5'-diphospho)-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol was transformed to 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate by a novel Escherichia coli enzyme involved in the nonmevalonate pathway. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
