Inhibition Mechanism of Anti-TB Drug SQ109: Allosteric Inhibition of TMM Translocation of Mycobacterium Tuberculosis MmpL3 Transporter
17 Aug 2023
Abstract excerpt
MmpL3 transporter alone and in complex with a trehalose monomycolate (TMM) substrate and an antituberculosis drug candidate SQ109 under Phase 2b-3 Clinical Trials are available, no water and no conformational change in MmpL3 were observed in these structures to explain SQ109's inhibition mechanism of proton and TMM transportation. In this study, molecular dynamics simulations of both apo form and inhibitor-bound...
