(-)-5-enolpyruvylshikimic acid is a naturally occurring chemical compound that plays a significant role in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids, such as phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. It is an intermediate in the shikimate pathway, which is a crucial metabolic pathway in plants, bacteria, and fungi. This pathway is responsible for the production of chorismate, a key precursor for the synthesis of these essential amino acids. The enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) enzyme catalyzes the conversion of shikimate-3-phosphate to (-)-5-enolpyruvylshikimic acid-3-phosphate, which is then converted to chorismate. Due to its importance in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids, (-)-5-enolpyruvylshikimic acid is a target for herbicides, such as glyphosate, which inhibit the EPSPS enzyme and ultimately disrupt the shikimate pathway, leading to the death of the plant.

5811-68-7 Usage

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 5811-68-7 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 5,8,1 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 5811-68:
(6*5)+(5*8)+(4*1)+(3*1)+(2*6)+(1*8)=97
97 % 10 = 7
So 5811-68-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
