Mechanistic studies of the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of CMP-N, N'-diacetyllegionaminic acid and UDP-D-apipose
This thesis focuses on the biosynthesis of two sugar nucleotides. The enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of N,N’-diacetyllegionaminic acid in Legionella pneumophila are identified for the first time. All three genes (neuA,B, C) demonstrated sequence homology to the genes involved in sialic aci...
