various problems

Summary box - the IUPAC name is totally wrong. Try (2E,6E,10E)-3,7,11,15-Tetramethylhexadeca-2,6,10,14-tetraene-1-diphosphate. The structure is the trianion but the formula is for the conjugate ('unionized') acid. GGPP is not synthesized by HMG-CoA encoded by the Columbus gene. HMG-CoA is the intermediate metabolite that GGPP is synthesized from, presumably by the product of the Columbus gene. 69.72.92.131 (talk) 02:30, 28 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I only found the trianion form on other web pages, so I suggest to change to formula to [C₂₀H₃₃O₇P₂]^3-.

The topic sentence: "Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate is an intermediate in the HMG-CoA reductase pathway used by organisms in the biosynthesis of terpenes and terpenoids" is incorrect, and should be removed. Geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate is not involved in this pathway in any capacity. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.143.240.137 (talk) 16:51, 17 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
