Mechanism of action of isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase: evidence for a carbonium ion intermediate

Isopentenyl pyrophosphate isomerase catalyzes the interconversion of isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate. The isomerase from yeast has been purified to near homogeneity (purity greater than 90%). The substrate analogue (Z)-3-(trifluoromethyl)-2-butenyl pyrophosphate reacts at l...
