The Mechanism of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase
The bacterial enzyme UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 2-epimerase (UDP-GlcNAc 2- epimerase) catalyzes the interconversion of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) and UDP-N-acetylmannosamine (UDP-ManNAc), by inverting the stereochemistry at C-2" of the nucleotide sugars. The mechanism of this enzyme i...
