Process for the production of prenyl diphosphate using mutants of geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase

摘要

The present invention discloses a mutated enzyme comprising a geranylgeranil diphosphate synthase having its origin in wild type Sulfolobus acidocaldarius wherein at least one of phenylalanine at position 77, methionine at position 85, valine at position 99, tyrosine at position 101, phenylalanine at position 118, arginine at position 199 and aspartic acid at position 312 is substituted with another amino acid.
