izoprenoidowa
Isoprenoidowa refers to molecules derived from isoprene units. Isoprene, also known as 2-methyl-1,3-butadiene, is a volatile organic compound with the chemical formula C5H8. Isoprenoids, also called terpenoids, are a large and diverse class of naturally occurring organic chemicals. They are built from repeating units of isoprene.
These compounds play crucial roles in many biological processes. For instance, cholesterol, a vital component of
Isoprenoids are found in all classes of living things. In plants, they contribute to a wide range
The biosynthesis of isoprenoids involves specific metabolic pathways, often starting with acetyl-CoA. The versatility of the
