Simvastation synthase (LovD) is an enzyme isolatied from the natural product biosynthetic pathways ofAspergillus terreus. Simvastatin Synthase is an acyltransferase that converts the inactive monacolin J acid (MJA) into the cholesterol-lowering lovastatin. LovD can also synthesize the blockbuster drug simvastatin using MJA and a synthetic alpha-dimethylbutyryl thioester, albeit with suboptimal properties as a biocatalyst.
