In enzymology a D-alanine—alanyl-poly(glycerolphosphate) ligase (EC 6.3.2.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + D-alanine + alanyl-poly(glycerolphosphate) ADP + phosphate + D-alanyl-alanyl-poly(glycerolphosphate)The 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP D-alanine and alanyl-poly(glycerolphosphate) whereas its 3 products are ADP phosphate and D-alanyl-alanyl-poly(glycerolphosphate).This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases).
