Description
Coenzyme A is involved in a great number of metabolic pathways, in particular it participates in the synthesis of the cell wall components of mycobacteria. Therefore PPAT is a very promising target in the search for antituberculosis drugs. PPAT catalyzes the fourth stage of coenzyme A biosynthesis.
