Two RmlC homologs catalyze dTDP-4-keto-6-deoxy-d-glucose epimerization in Pseudomonas putida KT2440
Abstract l-Rhamnose is an important monosaccharide both as nutrient source and as building block in prokaryotic glycoproteins and glycolipids. Generation of those composite molecules requires activated precursors being provided e. g. in form of nucleotide sugars such as dTDP-β-l-rhamnose (dTDP-l-Rha...

Abstract l-Rhamnose is an important monosaccharide both as nutrient source and as building block in prokaryotic glycoproteins and glycolipids.
