Description
An intermediate in the synthesis of biotin. Pimeloyl-CoA is transformed into AOP in the presence of L-alanine by the enzyme AOP synthase. The catalytic mechanism of AOP synthase has been studied for the elucidation of inhibitors as potential antimicrobial agents.
Applications
An intermediate in biotin biosynthesis
