Abstract excerpt
Phosphopantetheine adenylyltransferase (PPAT) catalyses the penultimate step in coenzyme A biosynthesis in bacteria and is therefore a candidate target for antibacterial drug development. We randomly mutated the residues in the Helicobacter pylori PPAT sequence to identify those that govern protein folding and ligand binding, and we describe the crystal structure of one of these mutants (I4V/N76Y) that contains...
