Prediction of Mycobacterium tuberculosis pyrazinamidase function based on structural stability, physicochemical and geometrical descriptors.
<h4>Background</h4>Pyrazinamide is an important drug against the latent stage of tuberculosis and is used in both first- and second-line treatment regimens. Pyrazinamide-susceptibility test usually takes a week to have a diagnosis to guide initial therapy, implying a delay in receiving a...
