3-isopropylmalate dehydrogenases (Leu belong to the leucine biosynthetic pathway and catalyze the irreversible oxidative decarboxylation of 3IPM to 2-ketoisocaproate that is finally converted into leucine by a branched-chain aminotransferase. Since leucine is an essential amino acid for humans, and it is also vital for the growth of many pathogenic bacteria, the enzymes belonging to this pathway can be considered as potential target sites for designing of a new class of antibacterial agents. We have determined the crystal structure
