A structural perspective on the enzymes that convert dTDP-d-glucose into dTDP-l-rhamnose
1 Jun 2003
Abstract excerpt
Bacteria have a rich collection of biochemical pathways for the synthesis of complex metabolites. These conversions often involve chemical reactions that are hard to reproduce in the laboratory. An area of considerable interest is in the manipulation and synthesis of carbohydrates. In contrast with amino acids, carbohydrates are densely functionalized (each carbon atom is attached to at least one heteroatom) and...
