The enzyme involved in making 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) is DXP synthase. [2] The mechanism follows a catalysis of decarboxylative condensation of pyruvate and d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to produce DXP. [2] [3] In addition, the molecule is involved in making thiamine (vitamin B 1) and pyridoxol (vitamin B 6). [2]
The systematic name of this enzyme class is pyruvate: d-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate acetaldehydetransferase (decarboxylating). Other names in common use include 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate pyruvate-lyase (carboxylating), and DXP-synthase. This enzyme participates in biosynthesis of steroids.
D-Xylulose 5-phosphate (D-xylulose-5-P) is an intermediate in the pentose phosphate pathway. It is a ketose sugar formed from ribulose-5-phosphate by ribulose-5-phosphate epimerase. In the non-oxidative branch of the pentose phosphate pathway, xylulose-5-phosphate acts as a donor of two-carbon ketone groups in transketolase reactions.

Phosphate can form many polymeric ions such as pyrophosphate, (P 2 O 7) 4−, and triphosphate, (P 3 O 10) 5−. The various metaphosphate ions (which are usually long linear polymers) have an empirical formula of (PO 3) − and are found in many compounds.
Likewise, tripolyphosphoric acid H 5 P 3 O 10 yields at least five anions [H 5−k P 3 O 10] k−, where k ranges from 1 to 5, including tripolyphosphate [P 3 O 10] 5−. Tetrapolyphosphoric acid H 6 P 4 O 13 yields at least six anions, including tetrapolyphosphate [P 4 O 13] 6−, and so on. Note that each extra phosphoric unit adds one extra ...
[4] [5] Despite being named as a phosphite the compound exists overwhelmingly in its phosphonate form, (C 2 H 5 O) 2 P(O)H, a property it shares with its parent acid phosphorous acid. Nonetheless many of its reactions appear to proceed via the minor phosphorus(III) tautomer. [6] (C 2 H 5 O) 2 P III (OH) ⇌ (C 2 H 5 O) 2 P V (O)H, K = 15 x 10 6 ...
