N-Acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate

CAS: 859839-44-4

N-Acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate is a molecule that belongs to the class of compounds known as nucleotide phosphates. It is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan, which is a major component of bacterial cell walls. N-Acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate is synthesized from ATP and N-acetylmuramic acid by hydrolysis. The reaction mechanism for this transformation involves an imine intermediate, which can be formed through the action of two molecules of ATP and one molecule of N-acetylmuramic acid. This reaction is catalyzed by an enzyme called heterocyst. The enzyme kinetics for this transformation are influenced by many factors, including temperature, pH, and substrate concentration.
