3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic Acid Kinase
3-deoxy-D-manno-octulosonic acid kinase (, ''kdkA (gene)'', ''Kdo kinase'') is an enzyme with systematic name ''ATP:(KDO)-lipid IVA 3-deoxy-alpha-D-manno-oct-2-ulopyranose 4-phosphotransferase''. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction A chemical reaction is a process that leads to the IUPAC nomenclature for organic transformations, chemical transformation of one set of chemical substances to another. Classically, chemical reactions encompass changes that only involve the pos ... : alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-lipid IVA + ATP \rightleftharpoons 4-O-phospho-alpha-Kdo-(2->6)-lipid IVA + ADP The enzyme phosphorylates the 4-OH position of KDO in (KDO)-lipid IVA.

Ketodeoxyoctonic Acid
3-Deoxy--''manno''-oct-2-ulosonic acid (ketodeoxyoctonic acid; KDO; IUPAC symbol Kdo) is an ulosonic acid of a 2-ketooctose which is used by bacteria in the synthesis of lipopolysaccharides. The -''manno'' prefix indicates that the four chiral centers have the same configuration as -mannose Mannose is a sugar monomer of the aldohexose series of carbohydrates. It is a C-2 epimer of glucose. Mannose is important in human metabolism, especially in the glycosylation of certain proteins. Several congenital disorders of glycosylation ....
