title: A fluorescent analogue of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine: application for FRET assay of peptidoglycan translocase II (MurG).
abstract: A direct continuous fluorescence assay for translocase II MurG based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) has been developed using a 6-substituted fluorescent analogue of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine.
