Abstract excerpt
3-deoxy-D-manno-2-octulosonic acid-8-phosphate (Kdo-8-P) synthase catalyzes the condensation of phosphoenolpyruvate with D-arabinose-5-phosphate to yield Kdo-8-P. Kdo-8-P is the phosphorylated precursor of Kdo, a rare sugar only found in the rhamnogalacturonan II pectic fraction of the primary ce...
