Isopentenyl diphosphate

Description:
Isopentenyl diphosphate (IDP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids, which are vital for various biological processes. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid that is soluble in water and polar organic solvents. IDP is characterized by its diphosphate group, which plays a crucial role in energy transfer and enzymatic reactions. The compound has a molecular formula of C5H15O7P2 and features a branched structure that contributes to its reactivity and role in metabolic pathways. It is involved in the mevalonate pathway and the non-mevalonate pathway, both of which are essential for the production of terpenes and steroids. Isopentenyl diphosphate is also known for its role in the synthesis of geranyl and farnesyl pyrophosphate, which are precursors to larger isoprenoid molecules. Due to its biological significance, IDP is of interest in fields such as biochemistry, pharmacology, and biotechnology, particularly in the study of plant metabolism and the development of antimicrobial agents.
