The DXS reaction (EC 2.2.1.7)

$Pyruvate + G3P \rightleftharpoons DXP + CO2$

Deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS) catalyses the production of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) from pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P). This reaction is the first step in the MEP pathway.

Modelling DXS

In the kinetic model, the DXS reaction is modelled with reversible Michaelis-Menten using the Hanekom bi-bi random order generic equation.
