Abstract

Bacterial biosynthesis of lysine has come under increased scrutiny as a target for novel antibacterial agents as it provides both lysine for protein synthesis and meso-diaminopimelate for construction of the bacterial peptidoglycan cell wall. Recent studies of the enzymes of the lysine biosynthetic pathway, development of inhibitors and investigations of their antibacterial properties are discussed.
