Abstract excerpt
This study aims to conduct a comprehensive molecular dynamics strategy to evaluate whether mutations found in pyrazinamide monoresistant (PZAMR) strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) can potentially reduce the effectiveness of pyrazinamide (PZA) for tuberculosis (TB) treatment. Five single point mutations of pyrazinamidase (PZAse), an enzyme which is responsible for the activation of prodrug PZA into...
