2YXG - PubMed Abstract: 
In bacteria and plants, dihydrodipicolinate synthase (DHDPS) plays a key role in the (S)-lysine biosynthesis pathway. DHDPS catalyzes the first step of the condensation of (S)-aspartate-beta-semialdehyde and pyruvate to form an unstable compound, (4S)-4-hydroxy-2,3,4,5-tetrahydro-(2S)-dipicolinic acid ...
