Comparative Study of Purine and Pyrimidine Nucleoside Analogues Acting on the Thymidylate Kinases of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and of Humans
28 Jul 2003
Abstract excerpt
Thymidine monophosphate kinase (TMPK) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TMPKmt) is an attractive target for the design of specific inhibitors. This fact is the result of its key role in the thymidine pathway and of unique structural features in the active site observed by X-ray crystallography, especially in comparison to its human counterpart (TMPKh). Different 5-modified thymidine derivatives, as well as purine...
