3MJ4 - PubMed Abstract: 
UDP (uridine diphosphate) galactopyranose mutase (UGM) is involved in the cell wall biosynthesis of many pathogenic microorganisms. UGM catalyzes the reversible conversion of UDP-α-D-galactopyranose into UDP-α-D-galactofuranose, with the latter being the precursor of galactofuranose (Galf) residues in cell walls ...
