The shikimate pathway is often used for the advancement of antimicrobial mixures to fight against these diseases. This process only takes place prokaryotes, fungi and plants. '''Chorismate synthase''' is the enzyme that is used in the shikimate pathway, which catalyzes phosphoenol pyruvate to chorismate. Chorismate Synthase is an enzymes that weighs 44.9 kDa. This enzyme is responsible for catalyzing the following reversible reaction: | ||
