'''Mur ligase''' are a set of four Mur ubiquitin ligase enzymes: MurC, MurD, MurE, MurF which catalyze the addition of a short polypeptide to UDP-D-acetylmuramic acid in the process of bacterial cell wall buildup from peptidoglycans<ref>PMID:11696548</ref>. All four enzymes are topologically similar and contain N-terminal domain which binds the substrate, an ATP-binding central domain and a C-terminal domain which binds the incorporated amino acid.

'''MurD ligase''' or '''UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine:D-glutamate ligase''' catalyzes the conversion of UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine (UMA), D-glutamate and ATP to UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine-D-glutamate and ADP. MurD is one of four Mur ubiquitin ligase enzymes (MurC, MurD, MurE, MurF) which participate in the biosynthesis of peptidoglycans. All four enzymes are topologically similar and contain N-terminal domain which binds the substrate, an ATP-binding central domain and a C-terminal domain which binds the incorporated amino acid.
