Abstract excerpt
A model for the 3-D structure of Enterococcus faecalis D-Ala:D-Ala ligase was produced using the X-ray structure of the Escherichia coli enzyme complexed with ADP and the methylphosphinophosphate inhibitor as a template. The model passed critical validation criteria with an accuracy similar to that of the template crystallographic structure and showed that ADP and methylphosphinophosphate were positioned in a...
