Abstract excerpt
Dihydropteroate synthase (DHPS) is essential for the folic acid biosynthetic pathway in prokaryotes; the mutation forms for DHPS are found to be relative to the urgent drug resistance problems. In our study, the Bacillus anthracis DHPS (BaDHPS) was selected for molecular dynamics and binding free energy studies to investigate the biochemistry behaviors of the wild-type and mutation form BaDHPS proteins (D184N and...
