Inhibitors of Human Dihydrofolate Reductase: A Computational Design and Docking Studies Using Glide
Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) plays a vital role in the DNA synthesis by reducing dihydrofolic acid to tetrahydrofolic acid which is an essential component. Synthetic ligands like methotrexate (MTX), aminopterin (AMP) and their analogues act as potential anti metabolites by mimicking the coenzyme d...
