Short Introduction

Description

IIsoprene Synthase is supposed to be a dimeric enzyme which consists of 595 amino acids and has a molecular mass of 68,386 Da. The protein is made up of alpha-helices which form two alpha-helical domains.

The N-terminal domain of the protein chain is folded similar to class II terpenoid synthases that are made up of (𝛼𝛼)6 barrels [Wendt et al.,1998].
