Abstract excerpt
The MraY transferase is an integral membrane protein that catalyzes an essential step of peptidoglycan biosynthesis, namely the transfer of the phospho-N-acetylmuramoyl-pentapeptide motif onto the undecaprenyl phosphate carrier lipid. It belongs to a large superfamily of eukaryotic and prokaryoti...
