'''DAHP synthase''' or '''3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase''' (DAHPS) catalyzes the conversion of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and D-erythrose 4-phosphate to 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) and phosphate.  DAHPS is part of the shikimate pathway.  DAHPS requires a bivalent metal ion cofactor for normal activity. DAHPS is a tetramer.  DAHPS exhibits feedback inhibition by aromatic amino acids like tyrosine, phenylalanine and tryptophan.<ref>PMID:1682314</ref>
