Zusammenfassung:Find the way: 3‐[2H]‐ and 4‐[2H]‐labeled 1‐deoxyxylulose‐5‐phosphate were synthesized and used to investigate the chemical mechanism of 1‐deoxyxylulose‐5‐phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) from E. coli. The observation of inverse secondary kinetic isotope effects for both labeled substrates indicates that DXR uses a retro‐aldol/aldol mechanism in which the recombination reaction is the rate‐limiting step (see scheme).
