✦ Synopsis

A convenient synthesis of UDP-N-acetylmuramic acid, a key compound for the study of the cytoplasmic synthetases of bacterial peptidoglycan, is described. Separation of its two anomers was carried out by HPLC. The a anomer is identical with natural UDP-N-acetylmuramic acid. Both anomers are substrates for the L-alanine-adding enzyme from Escherichiu coli with K, values of 0.13 mM ((~1 and 2 mM c/3>.
