Figure 1. Role of UDP-galactopyranose mutase in the biosynthesis
of the cell wall. a, Cell wall of M. tuberculosis showing key
role of galactofuranose. b, Reaction catalyzed by
UDP-galactopyranose mutase, the interconversion of UDP-Galp
(left) to UDP-Galf (right). Note that there is no net loss or
gain of electrons during the contraction of the ring.
