Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) is a required cofactor in Salmonella typhimurium that is generated de novo by the condensation of 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl pyrimidine (HMP) pyrophosphate and 4-methyl-5-(beta-hydroxyethyl)-thiazole (THZ) monophosphate. The THZ and HMP moieties are independently synthesized, and labeling studies have demonstrated
