            benzoate---coenzyme A ligase;
            benzoyl-coenzyme A synthetase;
            benzoyl CoA synthetase (AMP forming)
CLASS       Ligases;
            Forming carbon-sulfur bonds;
            Acid-thiol ligases
SYSNAME     benzoate:CoA ligase (AMP-forming)
REACTION    ATP + benzoate + CoA = AMP + diphosphate + benzoyl-CoA [RN:R01422]
ALL_REAC    R01422
SUBSTRATE   ATP [CPD:C00002];
            benzoate [CPD:C00180];
            CoA [CPD:C00010]
