  2. Shikimic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikimic_acid

    These fronds are edible, but can be roasted to remove shikimic acid. [11] Shikimic acid is also the glycoside part of some hydrolysable tannins. The acid is highly soluble in water and insoluble in nonpolar solvents, and this is why shikimic acid is active only against Gram-positive bacteria, due to outer cell membrane impermeability of Gram ...

  3. Naturally occurring phenols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturally_occurring_phenols

    [23] [24] The aromatic amino acid phenylalanine, synthesized in the shikimic acid pathway, is the common precursor of phenol containing amino acids and phenolic compounds. In plants, the phenolic units are esterified or methylated and are submitted to conjugation , which means that the natural phenols are mostly found in the glycoside form ...

  4. Shikimate pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikimate_pathway

    The shikimate pathway (shikimic acid pathway) is a seven-step metabolic pathway used by bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, some protozoans, and plants for the biosynthesis of folates and aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine). This pathway is not found in mammals.

  5. Composition of the human body - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composition_of_the_human_body

    Pie charts of typical human body composition by percent of mass, and by percent of atomic composition (atomic percent) Body composition may be analyzed in various ways. This can be done in terms of the chemical elements present, or by molecular structure e.g., water , protein , fats (or lipids ), hydroxyapatite (in bones), carbohydrates (such ...

  6. Phenylpropanoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylpropanoid

    The phenylpropanoids are a diverse family of organic compounds that are biosynthesized by plants from the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine in the shikimic acid pathway. [1] Their name is derived from the six-carbon, aromatic phenyl group and the three-carbon propene tail of coumaric acid , which is the central intermediate in ...

  7. Polyphenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphenol

    Polyphenols incorporate smaller parts and building blocks from simpler natural phenols, which originate from the phenylpropanoid pathway for the phenolic acids or the shikimic acid pathway for gallotannins and analogs. Flavonoids and caffeic acid derivatives are biosynthesized from phenylalanine and malonyl-CoA.

  9. EPSP synthase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPSP_synthase

    EPSP synthase is a monomeric enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 46,000. [2] [3] [4] It consists of two domains connected by protein strands that function as a hinge, allowing the two domains to move closer together.
