   3.2.1.49 | native enzyme and in complex with alpha-N-acetylgalactosamine, to 2.3 and 2.4 A resolution, respectively. Each monomer of NagA consists of two closely associated domains, forming a narrow tunnel in which the NAD+ molecule is anchored. The NAD+ is embedded within a narrow tunnel, almost exclusively shielded from solvent. It is bound with its diphosphate group oriented towards the N-terminus of the first alpha-helix of the N-terminal dinucleotide-binding domain and has both the adenine ring and the nicotinamide ring in the anti conformation. No major structural changes are observed in NagA upon product binding |
