5HM3 - PubMed Abstract: 
Mycolic acids are indispensible lipids of Mycobacterium tuberculosis ( Mtb ), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), and contribute to the distinctive architecture and impermeability of the mycobacterial cell envelope. FadD32 plays a pivotal role in mycolic acid biosynthesis by functionally linking fatty acid synthase (FAS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) biosynthetic pathways ...
