Mechanistic studies on UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase

The bacterial enzyme UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase (UDP-GlcNAc 2- epimerase) catalyzes the interconversion between the sugar nucleotide UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) and its C-2" epimer UDP-N-acetylmarinbsamine (UDP-ManNAc). This enzyme differs from known racemases and epimerase...
