Description

Chorismic acid is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine) and a variety of secondary metabolites in bacteria, fungi, and plants. It is a branched-chain compound with a cyclohexa-1,5-diene structure, derived from the shikimate pathway. Chorismic acid serves as a branch point in the shikimate pathway, leading to the synthesis of aromatic amino acids and other metabolites. It is a highly reactive molecule that undergoes enzymatic transformations to generate a variety of products. The study of chorismic acid and its metabolic pathways is important for understanding the biosynthesis of essential amino acids and the production of various bioactive compounds. Its biosynthesis is the target of several herbicides and antibiotics that inhibit the production of aromatic amino acids in bacteria. Research on chorismic acid has led to the development of new strategies for the production of valuable compounds through synthetic biology approaches.'
