The emergence and global spread of multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii strains are major threats to public health. Inhibition of peptidoglycan biosynthesis is an effective strategy for the development of antibiotics. The ATP-dependent UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-tripeptide-D-alanyl-D-alanine ligase (MurF) that is responsible for the last step of peptidoglycan biosynthesis is a validated target for the development of antibiotics. Crystals of A. baumannii MurF in complex with ATP were grown by th ...[more]
