Shikimate dehydrogenase structure reveals novel fold

Structure. 2003 Aug;11(8):902-3. doi: 10.1016/s0969-2126(03)00165-5.

Abstract

The structure of shikimate 5-dehydrogenase, the fourth enzyme in the shikimate biosynthesis pathway and a member of a large enzyme family without clear structural peer, reveals a novel topological fold for the substrate binding domain and, through homology modeling, expands the possibilities for antimicrobial and herbicide design.
