Unfortunately due to the relatively recent studies pertaining to the structure and bind of Mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate, the researchers are not exactly sure what the ligand present in the protein is. However, through this study, they determined that the closest match they could find for the <scene name='93/934001/Ligand_view/2'>ligand</scene> present is oleic acid. The ligand is bound via hydrogen bonding to H2O and <scene name='93/934001/Arg_128/2'>Arg 148</scene>. Another essential amino acid is the aspartate residue(<scene name='93/934001/Asp_309/1'>Asp309</scene>) as loss of this catalyst results in complete loss of Mevalonate 3,5-bisphosphate decarboxylase activity.

The protein is a dimer that contains <scene name='93/934001/Secondary_structure/1'>14 helices and 15 beta sheets</scene> per linked molecule. The ARG 148 forms hydrogen bonds that allow it to pair with Oleic Acid, the protein’s ligand. Protein also requires H2O to be present in order to bind its <scene name='93/934001/Ligand/2'>ligand</scene>. I found it really interesting that the protein only actually attaches to the ligand via small interaction between ARG 148 and water molecules.
