Streptococcal dTDP‐L‐rhamnose biosynthesis enzymes: functional characterization and lead compound identification
2 Jan 2019
Abstract excerpt
Summary Biosynthesis of the nucleotide sugar precursor dTDP‐L‐rhamnose is critical for the viability and virulence of many human pathogenic bacteria, including Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A Streptococcus ; GAS), Streptococcus mutans and Mycobacterium tuberculosis . Streptococcal pathogens require dTDP‐L‐rhamnose for the production of structurally similar rhamnose polysaccharides in their cell wall. Via...
