3-dehydroquinate synthase




In enzymology, a 3-dehydroquinate synthase (EC4.2.3.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 3-deoxy-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate, and two products, 3-dehydroquinate and phosphate. The protein uses NAD+ to catalyze the reaction. This reaction is part of the shikimate pathway which is involved in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids.
