Abstract excerpt
EPSP (5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate) synthase catalyzes condensation of shikimate 3-phosphate (S3P) and phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to form EPSP, a precursor to the aromatic amino acids. S3P and [2-13C]POP were bound to mutant or wild type E. coli forms of the enzyme prior to lyophilization. CPMAS-echo and rotational-echo double-resonance (REDOR) NMR experiments, employing a slow catalytic EPSP synthase mutant...
