Molecular modelling and dynamic simulation of UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase (MurA) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis using in silico approach

UDP-N-acetylglucosamine 1-carboxyvinyltransferase (MurA) catalyses the biosynthesis of peptidoglycans in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) cell wall by adding enolpyruvyl to UDP-N-acetylglucosamine through an addition and elimination process. In this study, novel inhibitors of MurA were identified us...
