Structural Studies of Two Enzymes of Pantothenate Biosynthesis in Escherichia Coli
(Department of Biochemistry, University of Cambridge, 2004-06-15)Pantothenate (vitamin B5), which is the invariable metabolic precursor to coenzyme A, is synthesized from L-aspartate and alpha-ketoisovalerate in a converging four-step process in bacteria. Here, structural studies of two ... -
