Orotidine 5'-monophosphate decarboxylase catalyzes the conversion of orotidine 5'-monophosphate to uridine 5'-monophosphate, the last step in biosynthesis of pyrimidine nucleotides. As part of a Structural Genomics Initiative, the crystal structures of the ligand-free and the6-azauridine 5'-monophosphate-complexed forms have been determined at 1 ...
