Functional Characterization of the <i>N</i>-Acetylmuramyl-<span style="font-variant: small-caps">l</span>-Alanine Amidase, Ami1, from <i>Mycobacterium abscessus</i>

Peptidoglycan (PG) is made of a polymer of disaccharides organized as a three-dimensional mesh-like network connected together by peptidic cross-links. PG is a dynamic structure that is essential for resistance to environmental stressors. Remodeling of PG occurs throughout the bacterial life cycle,...
