Substrate recognition and mechanism revealed by ligand-bound polyphosphate kinase 2 structures

Abstract excerpt

Significance Polyphosphate kinases (PPKs) are involved in many metabolic processes in bacteria, including pathogenic species. As these enzymes are not present in animals, they are a prime target for the development of novel antibiotics. The detailed knowledge of the mechanism of action and structure–function relationships of these enzymes is of utmost importance for the identification and design of new...
