Deskripsi
The first step in bacterial phospholipid biosynthesis is the acylation of glycerol 3-phosphate to form lysophosphatidic acid. Here, the authors present the high resolution crystal structure of the glycerol 3-phosphate acyltransferase PlsY, a membrane protein and give insights into its catalytical mechanism.
