NAME        Aspartate kinase
            Aspartokinase
CLASS       Transferases
            Transferring phosphorus-containing groups
            Phosphotransferases with a carboxyl group as acceptor
SYSNAME     ATP:L-aspartate 4-phosphotransferase
REACTION    ATP + L-Aspartate = ADP + 4-Phospho-L-aspartate
