Identification of a Reaction Intermediate and Mechanism of Action of Intermediary Enzymes in Plumbagin Biosynthetic Pathway Using Molecular Dynamics Simulation

The biosynthesis of plumbagin is known to occur via the acetate polymalonate pathway; however there are several intermediary steps that remain unidentified that leads to its synthesis. The study identifies enzyme naphthoate synthase to catalyze the cyclization of O-malonyl benzoyl CoA to form an int...
