'''Kdo-8-phosphate synthase''' (KPS) catalyzes the formation of the phosphorylated rare sugar Kdo-8-phosphate (Kdo-8-P) from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and D-arabinose-5-phosphate (A5P). '''Metallo KPS''' is a metal-requiring enzyme while ''Non-metallo KPS''' does not require a divalent cation for its activity. | '''Kdo-8-phosphate synthase''' (KPS) catalyzes the formation of the phosphorylated rare sugar Kdo-8-phosphate (Kdo-8-P) from phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and D-arabinose-5-phosphate (A5P).
