  1. 1. Enzymes in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis MEP and CoA Pathways Targeted for Structure-Based Drug Design

    Författare :Christofer Björkelid; T. Alwyn Jones; Torsten Unge; Sherry L. Mowbray; William N. Hunter; Uppsala universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tuberculosis; Mycobacterium tuberculosis; MEP pathway; CoA pathway; drug development; crystal structure; DXR; IspD; PanK; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Molecular Biology; Molekylärbiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Tuberculosis, caused by the pathogenic bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, is one of the most widespread and deadly infectious diseases today. Treatment of tuberculosis relies on antibiotics that were developed more than 50 years ago. These are now becoming ineffective due to the emergence of antibiotic resistant strains of the bacteria.

    Sammanfattning : Since the discovery of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) as the bacterial agent causing tuberculosis, the permanent eradication of this disease has proven challenging. Although a number of drugs exist for the treatment of tuberculosis, 1.7 million people still die every year from this infection. LÄS MER
