Abstract excerpt
The protein MabA of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a beta-ketoacyl reductase (KAR) and catalyses one of the four steps of the fatty acid elongation system FAS-II. The crystal structures of different KARs revealed a significant rearrangements of the active site between a "closed" inactive conformat...
