Galactose-1-phosphate uridyl transferase (GalT): This enzyme plays a key role in galactose metabolism by catalysing the transfer of a uridine 5'-phosphoryl group from UDP-galactose 1-phosphate. The structure of E.coli GalT reveals that the enzyme contains two identical subunits. It also demonstrates that the active site is formed by amino acid residues from both subunits of the dimer.
