An early enzyme in menaquinone (vitamin K2) biosynthesis is the synthase forming 2-succinyl-6-hydroxy-2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylic acid (SHCHC) from isochorismic acid. In turn, SHCHC is aromatized to o-succinylbenzoic acid (OSB) by OSB synthase. An assay for the combined activity of these two enz
