The substrate free form of Staphylococcus aureus UDP-N-acetylenolpyruvylglucosamine reductase (S. aureus MurB) has been crystallized, and the three dimensional x-ray crystal structure has been solved to 2.3 Å resolution. The x-ray crystal structure is useful for solving the structure of other molecules or molecular complexes, and designing inhibitors of S. aureus MurB.
