5. EPSP synthase - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPSP_synthase

   EPSP synthase is the biological target for the herbicide glyphosate. [13] Glyphosate is a competitive inhibitor of EPSP synthase, acting as a transition state analog that binds more tightly to the EPSPS-S3P complex than PEP and inhibits the shikimate pathway. This binding leads to inhibition of the enzyme's catalysis and shuts down the pathway.
