Anhydro-N-acetylmuramic acid kinase (EC 2.7.1.170, anhMurNAc kinase, AnmK) is an enzyme with systematic name ATP:1,6-anhydro-N-acetyl-beta-muramate 6-phosphotransferase.[1] It catalyses the following chemical reaction
The enzyme characterised from Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa converts 1,6-anhydro-N-acetyl-β-muramic acid to N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate by transferring a phosphate group from the cofactor, adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is converted to adenosine diphosphate (ADP).[2][3][4]

The product is then converted to N-acetyl-D-glucosamine 6-phosphate by N-acetylmuramic acid 6-phosphate etherase. This sequence allows these organisms to recycle their cell wall.[2][5]
