Abstract excerpt
3-Deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate synthase (KDO8PS) catalyzes the reaction between phosphoenolpyruvate and arabinose 5-phosphate (A5P) in the first committed step in the pathway to 3-deoxy-d-manno-octulosonate, a component in the cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria. KDO8PS is evolutionarily and structurally related to the first enzyme of the shikimate pathway, 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate...
