About the affects of herbicide roundup on plant
Introduction:
The inhibition of 3-enolpyruvylshikimate-5-phosphate synthase by glyphosate ends up in the generation of a compound that forms chorismate. The formation of chorismate happens through the shikimate pathway, that ends up in the assembly of the intermediates phosphoenolpyruvate

Triosephosphate isomerase (TIM) catalyzes the conversion of dihydroxyacetone phosphate to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate. The enzyme’s catalytic groups are Glu 165 and His 95. In the first step of the reaction, these catalytic groups function as a general-base and a general-acid catalyst, respectively. Propose a mechanism for the reaction.

This class differs for Class I in that these enzymes do not have a Lys residue associated with their active sites, but contain a divalent cation (usually Zn2+ or Fe2+) in the active site.
