Chorismic acid
Chorismic acid is a precursor for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids and vitamins, as well as a key metabolite in tRNA modification. Chorismic acid is a critical metabolite for the synthesis of cmo5U. Deficiency of Chorismic acid inhibits the formation of cmo5U and mcmo5U. Chorismic acid can be used in studies of S. typhimurium and E. coli infections.\n
