Enzyme Information

4.2.3.5
Chorismate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt O66493
5-O-(1-carboxyvinyl)-3-phosphoshikimate = chorismate + phosphate.
-!- The reaction goes via a radical mechanism that involves reduced FMN and its semiquinone (FMNH.). -!- Shikimate is numbered so that the double-bond is between C-1 and C-2, but some earlier papers numbered the ring in the reverse direction. -!- Formerly EC 4.6.1.4.
