3-dehydroshikimate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.118) is an enzyme with systematic name 3-dehydroshikimate hydro-lyase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

3-dehydro-shikimate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate + H2O

This enzyme catalyses an early step in the biosynthesis of petrobactin.
