Abstract
During his career, Christian Raetz has characterized many enzymes responsible for synthesizing or modifying lipid molecules, including the entire nine-enzyme pathway for the biosynthesis of lipid A, an essential part of bacterial outer membranes that plays a role in making many Gram-negative bacteria toxic. The findings from the two Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) Classic articles reprinted here were the start of Raetz' elucidation of the enzymology, genetics, and structural biology of lipid A assembly.
