Description
Glyphosate inhibits the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthetase (EPS-PS) which is involved in the shikimate pathway. Inhibition of this enzym results in an accumulation of shikimate, inhibition of synthesis of aromatic amino acids and secondary metabolites, and results in cell death.
