Biosynthesis: The enzyme 3-dehydroquinate dehydratase uses 3-dehydroquinate to produce 3-dehydroshikimate and H 2 O. 3-Dehydroshikimate is then reduced to shikimic acid by the enzyme shikimate dehydrogenase , which uses nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as a cofactor.
3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.118) is an enzyme with systematic name 3-dehydroshikimate hydro-lyase. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction 3-dehydro-shikimate ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate + H 2 O
The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-dehydroquinate hydro-lyase (3-dehydroshikimate-forming). This enzyme is one of the few examples of convergent evolution. The two separate versions of this enzyme have different amino acid sequences. [2] 3-Dehydroquinate dehydratase is also commonly referred to as Dehydroquinate dehydratase and DHQD ...
In enzymology, a shikimate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.25) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction shikimate + NADP + ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } 3-dehydroshikimate + NADPH + H + Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are shikimate and NADP + , whereas its 3 products are 3-dehydroshikimate , NADPH , and H + .

The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-deoxy-D-arabino-hept-2-ulosonate-7-phosphate phosphate-lyase (cyclizing; 3-dehydroquinate-forming). Other names in common use include 5-dehydroquinate synthase, 5-dehydroquinic acid synthetase, dehydroquinate synthase, 3-dehydroquinate synthetase, 3-deoxy-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate phosphate ...

3-Deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase (EC 2.5.1.54) is the first enzyme in a series of metabolic reactions known as the shikimate pathway, which is responsible for the biosynthesis of the amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. Since it is the first enzyme in the shikimate pathway, it controls the amount of ...
