Introduction

Simvastation synthase (LovD) is an enzyme isolated from the natural product biosynthetic pathways of Aspergillus terreus. Simvastatin Synthase is an acyltransferase that converts the inactive monacolin J acid (MJA) by dimethylbutyryl chloride to yield the protected form of simvastatin, which is subsequently undergoes lactonization to yield simvastatin.

LovD can also synthesize the blockbuster drug simvastatin using MJA and a synthetic alpha-dimethylbutyryl thioester, albeit with suboptimal properties as a biocatalyst[1].
