NeuB is a bacterial sialic acid synthase used by neuroinvasive bacteria to synthesize N -acetylneuraminate (NeuNAc), helping them to evade the host immune system. NeuNAc oxime is a potent slow-binding NeuB inhibitor. It dissociated too slowly to be detected experimentally, with initial estimates of its residence time in the active site being >47 days ...
