Protein
Diaminopimelate epimerase 1
Organism
Nostoc sp. (strain PCC 7120 / SAG 25.82 / UTEX 2576)
Function
Catalyzes the stereoinversion of LL-2,6-diaminoheptanedioate (L,L-DAP) to meso-diaminoheptanedioate (meso-DAP), a precursor of L-lysine and an essential component of the bacterial peptidoglycan.
Similarity
Belongs to the diaminopimelate epimerase family.
