Talk:Shikimic acid

Dear Sirs,

I do not think, that links to extern chemical suppliers with "datasheets" and commercial informations are helpful to develop a scientific encyclopedia...

If one suppliers spreads his links everywhere, many others will follow developing wikipedia in a commercial link list.

Best regards

"Although shikimic acid is present in most autotrophic organisms, it is a biosynthetic intermediate and generally found in very low concentrations."

So what does it do in laymans terms....need more than the biochem textbook discription. primacag —Preceding unsigned comment added by Primacag (talk • contribs) 19:52, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Laymans explanation would help

Toxicity?
How toxic is it? The Fiddlehead fern article indicates it's bad, but is it just like oxalic acid or worse? Nessie (talk) 23:18, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Redundancy with Shikimic acid pathway article
I added a link from the section on the shikimic pathway to the main article shikimic acid pathway. However, it seems the contents of this article are identical to the section on this page. I tend to be more of a splitter so my inclination would be to remove the redundant material on this page. However, I'm not familiar with the general policies for lumping/splitting pathways with their precursors Cmungall (talk) 00:33, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

Difference between Shikimic acid and Gallic acid
Greetings.

I found this article linked with the Gallic acid article. Is there any difference that I'm not detecting between these two compounds? Please bear in mind that I am not a professional (I'm totally amateur and am focusing on transition metals, for what it's worth).

Thank you.
