Shikimate pathway and aromatic amino acid biosynthesis showing the metabolites formed at each step catalyzed by the enzymes abbreviated in bold. The target site of glyphosate is EPSPS (green). The target site of the antimetabolite 7-deoxysedoheptulose (red) is DQS (orange). DAHPS: 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase, DQS: 3-dehydroquinate synthase, DHQD/SD: 3-dehydroquinatede hydratase, SK: shikimate kinase, EPSPS: 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase, CS: chorismate synthase, CM: chorismate mutase, PAT: prephenate aminotransferase.
