D-erythrose 4-phosphate. Phenylalanine is also a feedback inhibitor of DAHPS, as it is produced downstream in the Shikimate Pathway. Studies of product inhibition have shown that phosphoenolpyruvate is the first substrate to bind to the enzyme complex, inorganic phosphate is the first product to dissociate from the enzyme complex. Thus the amount of carbon entering the shikimate pathway can be controlled by inhibiting DAHP synthase from catalyzing the reaction that
