In enzymology an UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine—D-glutamate ligase (EC 6.3.2.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine + D-glutamate ADP + phosphate + UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamateThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanine and D-glutamate whereas its 3 products are ADP phosphate and UDP-N-acetylmuramoyl-L-alanyl-D-glutamate.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases).
