Abstract: Several pathogenic bacteria import and catabolize sialic acids as a source of carbon and nitrogen. Within the sialic acid catabolic pathway, the enzyme N-acetylmannosamine kinase (NanK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of N-acetylmannosamine to N-acetylmannosamine-6-phosphate. This kinase… read more here.
