4-Hydroxy-3-(3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl)benzoic acid is a cyclohexane ring with a hydroxyl group and a phenolic acid. It is synthesized using chemoenzymatic reactions. 4HBB is a substrate for gyrase, an enzyme that functions as part of the bacterial DNA replication machinery. As such, it can be used in studies of the molecular biology of this enzyme. The 4HBB mutant strain has been sequenced and shown to have the same base sequence as its wild type counterpart, but differs in its chemical structure. The 4HBB mutant strain was able to be used as a model system for studying the effects of p-hydroxybenzoic acid on gyrase activity.
