“…b) BPs may be inhibitors of enzymes having substrates with a terminal PP (R-PP) (see below and Günther Sillero et al, 2009). Although the inhibition of these enzymes could take place at any step of the pathway, specific inhibitions have been reported on isolated enzymes from bacteria, yeast or plants: pyrophosphatase (Baykov et al, 1993;Cromartie et al, 1999;Drozdowicz et al, 2003;Gordon-Weeks et al, 1999;Kim et al,1994;Kuo et al, 2005;Rodrígues et al, 2000;Szabo & Oldfield, 2001;Zhen et al, 1994 ); geranyl diphospho synthetase (Burke et al, 2004;Oberhauser et al, 1998); isopentenyl pyrophosphate synthase (Cromartie et al, 1999) and P5C reductase (Forlani et al, 2008).…”
