Contagious diseases are increasingly becoming a major public health issue. The shikimate pathway is often used for the advancement of antimicrobial mixures to fight against these diseases. This process only takes place in prokaryotes, fungi and plants. '''Chorismate synthase''' is the enzyme that is used in the shikimate pathway, which catalyzes the coversion of phosphoenol pyruvate to chorismate. Chorismate Synthase is an enzyme part of the lyase family. Studying this enzyme and the roles that it plays in many diseases, inhibition of this reaction can lead to oral treatment for infectious diseases and further growth. This enzyme is responsible for catalyzing the following reversible reaction: | Contagious diseases are increasingly becoming a major public health issue.
