摘要: Abstract The interconversion of shikimic and quinic acids has been demonstrated with enzymes from cell suspension cultures mung bean (Phaseolus aureus Roxb.). were extracted after disruption the cells by sonic oscillation. Spectrophotometric assays extracts presence quinate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.24), dehydroquinate dehydratase 4.2.1.10) shikimate 1.1.1.25). products identified gas-liquid chromatography. results showed that 5-dehydroquinate 5-dehydroshikimate intermediates.
