Abstract excerpt
Quinolone resistance-determining region is known to be the druggability site of the target protein that undergoes frequent mutation and thus renders quinolone resistance. In the present study, ligands were tested for their inhibitory activity against DNA gyrase of Streptococcus pyogenes involved in DNA replication. In silico mutational analysis on modelled gyrase A revealed that GLU85 had the most possible...
