LNA (locked nucleic acid): high-affinity targeting of complementary RNA and DNA.

abstract：:Pantothenate synthetase (PS, EC 6.3.2.1) is the last enzyme in the pantothenate biosynthesis pathway, a metabolic pathway identified as a potential target for new antimicrobials. PS catalyzes the ATP-dependent condensation of pantoate and beta-alanine to form pantothenate. Here we report the overexpression, purificati...
