  • Method for screening substance specifically inhibiting non-mevalonate pathway
    Publication number: 20030170662
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for screening substances which specifically inhibit the non-mevalonate pathway by using an organism capable of using both the mevalonate pathway and the non-mevalonate pathway as biosynthetic pathways of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a novel method for screening anti-bacterial agents, herbicides or anti-malarial agents which can specifically inhibit any of the enzyme reactions on the non-mevalonate pathway for the synthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP).
