In this work, a model describing the complete enzyme catalysed synthesis of N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) from N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) is presented. It includes the combined reaction steps of epimerisation from GlcNAc to N-acetyl-D-mannosamine (ManNAc) and the aldol condensation of ManNAc with
