title: Enzymatic synthesis of mevalonate-5-(2-thiodiphosphate).
abstract: Mevalonate-5-(2-thiodiphosphate), a substrate analog for diphosphomevalonate decarboxylase, has been enzymatically prepared from mevalonate-5-phosphate and adenosine-5'-0-(3-thiotriphosphate) using phosphomevalonate kinase as a catalyst, in a 37% yield. The substrate properties of the synthesized compound are compared to those of the normal substrate of the enzyme.
