How the herbicide RoundUp affects plant metabolism
Glyphosate (otherwise known as RoundUp) is an analog of PEP. It acts as a noncompetitive inhibitor of 3-enolpyruvylshikimate-5-P synthase; it has the following structure in its fully protonated state:
HOOC-CH2 -NH-CH2 -PO3 H2
Consult Figures 25.35 and 25.36 and construct a list of the diverse metabolic consequences that might be experienced by a plant cell exposed to glyphosate.
