Mechanism of squalene biosynthesis: evidence against the involvement of free nerolidyl pyrophosphate
Several mechanisms that utilize farnesyl pyrophosphate and nerolidyl pyrophosphate as condensing substrates have been postulated for the asymmetric condensation reaction in squalene biosynthesis. Although there is ample evidence that farnesyl pyrophosphate is a substrate for this reaction, there has...
