The 1‐deoxy‐d‐xylulose‐5‐phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR; EC1.1.1.267), an NADPH‐dependent reductase, plays a pivotal role in the methylerythritol 4‐phosphate pathway (MEP), in the conversion of 1‐deoxy‐d‐xylulose‐5‐phosphate (DXP) into MEP.

Inhibition of human mevalonate kinase by allosteric inhibitors of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase
Mevalonate kinase constitutes a key regulatory step in the mevalonate pathway, an established drug target for its role in the synthesis of isoprenoid molecules. Using a structure‐based rational approach, we identified several synthetic compounds that inhibit mevalonate kinase with nanomolar potency.

Structural features and domain movements controlling substrate binding and cofactor specificity in class II HMG-CoA reductase [PDF]
The key mevalonate pathway enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A (HMG-CoA) reductase (HMGR) uses the cofactor NAD(P)H to reduce HMG-CoA to mevalonate in the production of countless metabolites and natural products.

Biosynthetic Studies of Natural Plant Products: The Biosynthesis of Petasin in Petasites hybridus (L) Compositae [PDF]
In recent years, the study of natural products has undergone a shift in emphasis from the classical, purely structural type of chemical investigation to consideration of the relationship of such compounds with the organism of origin.
