N-succinyl-diaminopimelate desuccinylaseDapE is an enzyme that belongs to the meso-diaminopimelate/Lysine pathway. It is recognized as an antimicrobial target, hence compounds that inhibit its catalytic activity are required. The principal features considered in the selection of potential inhibitors for ...
Ubiquitously present in most bacteria, the enzyme metallohydrolase N-succinyl diaminopimelate desuccinylase (DapE) is required for the biosynthesis of meso-diaminopimelate (mDAP) and lysine, both essential components of bacterial peptidoglycan. DapE activity has been recognized as critical for bacterial ...
