The tail of mycolic acids
Abstract
The FabH enzyme from M. tuberculosis binds the acyl tail of large substrates at the end of a buried hydrophobic tunnel. Sachdeva et al. (2008) use reactive chemical probes and X-ray crystallography to show that substrates can bind to an open state of FabH without threading through the tunnel.
