UPPS (undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase) catalyses consecutive condensation reactions of FPP (farnesyl pyrophosphate) with eight isopentenyl pyrophosphates to generate C55 UPP, which serves as a lipid carrier for bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis. We reported the co-crystal structure of Escherichia coli UPPS in

Statins were recently shown to possess anti-inflammatory activities, which might be responsible for their favourable effects in cardiovascular or CNS disorders independently from the inhibition of hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl CoA reductase. Here we investigated the effects of the statins lovastatin and mevastatin

Isoprenoids, most of them synthesized by prenyltransferases (PTSs), are a class of important biologically active compounds with diverse functions. The mint geranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GPPS) is a heterotetramer composed of two LSU·SSU (large/small subunit) dimers. In addition to C(10)-GPP, the

Statins have demonstrated substantial benefits in supporting cardiovascular health. Older individuals are more likely to experience the well-known muscle-related side effects of statins compared with younger individuals. Elderly females may be especially vulnerable to statin-related muscle disorder. This review will
