In the typical isoprenoid-biosynthesis pathway, condensation of the universal C(5)-unit precursors isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) occurs via the common intermediates prenyl pyrophosphates (C(10)-C(20)). The diversity of isoprenoids reflects differences in chain length, cyclization and further additional modification
