Molecular determinants of Neu5Ac binding to a tripartite ATP independent periplasmic (TRAP) transporter

Molecular determinants of Neu5Ac binding to a tripartite ATP independent periplasmic (TRAP) transporter

N -Acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac) is a negatively charged nine-carbon amino sugar that is often the peripheral sugar in human cell-surface glycoconjugates. Some bacteria scavenge, import, and metabolize Neu5Ac or redeploy it on their cell surfaces for immune evasion. The import of Neu5Ac by many bac...
