Comments
According to the literature [8], [11] & [12], the reaction proceeds as follows:
(1) His125 (of 1lxa) acts as a general base, which activates the acceptor group, 3-OH of UDP-GlcNAc substrate, by abstracting a proton from the group.
(2) The activated hydroxyl group makes a nucleophilic attack on the transferred acyl group.
