Insights into the Structure and Mechanism of Anhydromuramic Acid Kinase (AnmK): A Novel Peptidoglycan Recycling Enzyme with Dual Hydrolase and Kinase Functionality

<p>Bacteria recycle pre-existing peptidoglycan in order to minimize the de novo synthesis of peptidoglycan precursors. The recycling pathway is under study for its chemotherapeutic target potential. Anhydromuramic acid kinase (AnmK) is part of this recycling pathway and catalyzes the dual hy...
