General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function MetAP is a ubiquitous enzyme required for cell survival and an attractive target for antibacterial and anticancer drug development. MetAP is involved in protein maturation by catalyzing the hydrolytic excision of the N-terminal methionine from nascent proteins Escherichia coli
