Geranyl diphosphate

Description:
Geranyl diphosphate (GDP) is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of terpenes and terpenoids, which are vital compounds in various biological processes. It is a diphosphate ester of geraniol and plays a crucial role in the mevalonate pathway, contributing to the formation of isoprenoid compounds. GDP is characterized by its molecular formula, which includes carbon, hydrogen, and phosphorus atoms, reflecting its structure as a diphosphate derivative. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid and is soluble in polar solvents. Its reactivity is primarily due to the presence of the diphosphate group, which can undergo hydrolysis and participate in enzymatic reactions. Geranyl diphosphate is essential for the synthesis of monoterpenes, which are important for the production of essential oils and various natural products. Additionally, it serves as a precursor for larger terpenoid structures, highlighting its significance in both plant metabolism and potential applications in pharmaceuticals and biotechnology.
