2.4.1.227 | drug development |
the enzyme is an important and unique drug target in Acinetobacter baumannii since it plays a key role during the synthesis of peptidoglycan and it is not found in Homo sapiens. In-silico based exploring of potential lead candidates from the library of natural products for the treatment of Acinetobacter baumannii infections is accomplished with the aid of systematic computational analysis. A 3D model of MurG is predicted using comparative protein modeling approach based on homologous MurG structure from Escherichia coli (strain K12) (PDB ID: 1F0K). Concordance binding site analysis is performed to identify the putative ligand binding sites of optimized MurG model for virtual screening and docking studies against natural compounds subset of Zinc database |
