- Isochorismate synthase
In
enzymology , an isochorismate synthase (EC number|5.4.4.2) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :chorismate isochorismate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
chorismate , and one product,isochorismate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
isomerase s, specifically those intramoleculartransferase s transferring hydroxy groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is isochorismate hydroxymutase. This enzyme participates in 2 metabolic pathways:ubiquinone biosynthesis andbiosynthesis of siderophore group .tructural studies
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code PDB link|2EUA.
