Binding Mechanism of the Peptidoglycan Hydrolase Acm2: Low Affinity, Broad Specificity [PDF]
Biophysical Journal, 2013 Peptidoglycan hydrolases are bacterial secreted enzymes that cleave covalent bonds in the cell-wall peptidoglycan, thereby fulfilling major physiological functions during cell growth and division. Although the molecular structure and functional roles of these enzymes have been widely studied, the molecular details underlying their interaction with ...
