Introduction

Mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase (MDD) is an important enzyme required for the biosynthesis of cholesterol and other isoprenoids in mammals, bacteria, yeast and fungi [1]. MDD is a member of the GHMP (Galactokinase, Homoserine kinase, mevalonate kinase and phosphomevalonate kinase) enzyme family, and is responsible for the conversion of mevalonate diphosphate to isopentenyl pyrophosphate with the help of 1 ATP molecule[1] [2].
