摘要: The structure of the type II dehydroquinate dehydratase (DHQase) from Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae, third enzyme shikimate pathway, has been determined. Crystals diffracting to 1.7 A were obtained in space and on earth using counter-diffusion technique. was solved molecular replacement refined high resolution. overall dodecameric is described compared with structures DHQases other bacteria. contain a flexible loop that presumably closes over active site upon substrate binding. can exist an open or closed conformation. present displays conformation, sulfate anion bound site. availability this opens route structure-based antibiotics targetting pathogenic bacterium.
