Structural Basis for Shikimate-Binding Specificity ofHelicobacter pyloriShikimate Kinase [PDF]
ABSTRACTShikimate kinase (EC 2.7.1.71) catalyzes the specific phosphorylation of the 3-hydroxyl group of shikimic acid in the presence of ATP. As the fifth key step in the shikimate pathway for aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in bacteria, fungi, and plants, but not mammals, shikimate kinase represents an attractive target for the development of new ...

Lignin engineering in forest trees [PDF]
Wood is a renewable resource that is mainly composed of lignin and cell wall polysaccharides. The polysaccharide fraction is valuable as it can be converted into pulp and paper, or into fermentable sugars.

Glyphosate inhibition of ferric reductase activity in iron deficient sunflower roots [PDF]
Iron (Fe) deficiency is increasingly being observed in cropping systems with frequent glyphosate applications. A likely reason for this is that glyphosate interferes with root uptake of Fe by inhibiting ferric reductase in roots required for Fe ...

Tris[(6S)-6-hydroxy-4-epi-shikimic acid] monohydrate: an enantiomerically pure hydroxylated shikimic acid derived from methyl shikimate [PDF]
The title compound, 3C(7)H(10)O(6)·H(2)O, is the enanti-omerically pure product of a multi-step synthesis from the enanti-omerically pure natural shikimic acid. The asymmetric unit contains three mol-ecules of the acid and one mol-ecule of water. The cyclo-hexene rings of the acids have half-chair conformations.

Foliar-applied glyphosate substantially reduced uptake and transport of iron and manganese in sunflower (helianthus annuus L.) plants [PDF]
Evidence clearly shows that cationic micronutrients in spray solutions reduce the herbicidal effectiveness of glyphosate for weed control due to the formation of metal-glyphosate complexes.
