The compound 2-amino-2-deoxyglucitol-6P competitively inhibits E. coli
glucosamine-6P synthase with respect to fructose-6P whereas glutamate
gamma-semialdehyde is a competitive inhibitor with respect to glutami
ne. These compounds, which exhibit good inhibitory properties (K-m/K-i
= 16 and 1000 respectively), were used in the synthesis of multisubstr
ate analogs.
