COMMENTARY hide
LITERATURE
metabolism
the enzyme is involved in the peptidoglycan biosynthesis
physiological function
MurD catalyzes the addition of D-glutamic acid to UDP-MurNAc-L-Ala, generating the dipeptide moiety L-Ala-D-Glu in peptidoglycan biosynthesis
additional information
conformational changes of MurD occur upon ligand binding. Upon binding of ATP and UDP-N-acetyl-alpha-D-muramoyl-L-alanine, there is a closing rotation of the C-terminal domain, which does not occur before ATP is bound, targeted molecular dynamics simulation
