3-Dehydroshikimic acid (DHS) stands as a pivotal metabolite within the shikimate pathway, renowned for its chromophore that enables seamless spectrophotometric assays. This feature makes DHS an indispensable tool for researchers and chemists seeking precision and accuracy in their studies.
Through a cutting-edge process, DHS is meticulously prepared from glucose using an ingeniously engineered microbe. This innovative approach ensures the production of exceptionally pure DHS, obtained from the fermentation broth. As a key metabolite in the shikimate pathway, DHS plays a vital role in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids, which are crucial for both plants and microorganisms. Furthermore, it serves as a substrate for the enzyme shikimate dehydrogenase, underpinning its essential function in biochemical applications.
