Substrate specificity and mutational studies of KDO8PS
The enzyme 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate 8-phosphate synthase (KDO8PS) catalyses the stereospecific aldol-like condensation between phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and the five-carbon sugar D-arabinose 5-phosphate (A5P). This is the first biosynthetic step in the formation of 3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonate (...
