Biochemical and Genetic Studies of UDP-2,3-Diacylglucosamine Hydrolysis in Lipid A Biosynthesis

<p>The outer-leaflet of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria is composed of lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is attached to the membrane via a hexa-acylated saccharolipid called lipid A. The fourth step of lipid A biosynthesis involves the cleavage of the pyrophosphate group of UDP-2,3...
