On the right path : The stereochemcial course of the IspH reaction, the last reaction in the deoxyxylulose phosphate pathway to terpenes, was investigated in feeding experiments with deuterated isotopologues of 1‐deoxy‐ D ‐xylulose. The results support an enzyme mechanism for IspH that involves a previously suggested metallacyclopropane intermediate.
