The tail of mycolic acids

Jeff Zhiqiang Lu et al. Chem Biol. 2008 Apr.

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.
