Dihydrodipicolinate reductase crystals and three dimensional structure

摘要

This invention relates to dihydrodipicolinate reductase crystals and to methods of growing said crystals. This invention is further directed to the utilization of said crystals to determine the three dimensional structure of dihydrodipicolinate reductase. Compounds which inhibit the activity of dihydrodipicolinate reductase in bacteria and in plants can be developed utilizing the three dimensional structure of dihydrodipicolinate reductase.
