Approaches for Designing new Potent Inhibitors of Farnesyl Pyrophosphate Synthase
Introduction: Farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase (FPPS) catalyzes the condensation of isopentenyl diphosphate with dimethylallyl diphosphate to give rise to one molecule of geranyl diphosphate, which on a further reaction with another molecule of isopentenyl diphosphate forms the 15-carbon isoprenoid f...
