Background:

Dimethylallyl pyrophosphate and isopentyl pyrophosphate undergo condensation to yield geranyl pyrophosphate, which undergoes condensation with a second molecule of isopentyl pyrophosphate to yield farnesyl pyrophosphate.[1] [2] Farnesylation is essential for the function of a number of proteins involved in signal transduction.[3][4]
