Molecular cloning and functional expression of geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase from <it>Coleus forskohlii </it>Briq

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP), a common biosynthetic precursor to the labdane diterpene forskolin, has been biosynthesised via a non-mevalonate pathway. Geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) synthase is an important branch point enzyme i...
