We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.

'''Enoylpyruvate transferase''' (MurA) catalyzes the ligation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UNAG). The pyruvate moiety makes the linker between the glycan and peptide portion of peptidoglycans. Thus MurA is essential for the biosynthesis of bacterial cell walls and is a target for antibiotics. MurA is composed of catalytic domain and C-terminal domain.
