Characterization of a novel esterase Rv0045c from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

<h4>Background</h4>It was proposed that there are at least 250 enzymes in M. tuberculosis involved in lipid metabolism. Rv0045c was predicted to be a hydrolase by amino acid sequence similarity, although its precise biochemical characterization and function remained to be defined.<h4&...
