Subsequent enzymatic steps convert MEP to IPP/DMAPP for synthesis of downstream isoprenoids. Since the MEP pathway is linear, each of the enzymes in this pathway is required for de novo isoprenoid biosynthesis. [...]the malaria parasite makes plant-like signaling molecules (carotenoids), but these also do not have a known biological function [19]....
