Abstract excerpt
Redox-active molecules play critical roles in various biological functions, including cellular respiration. In bacterial electron transport chains, menaquinones serve as key electron carriers. The first committed enzyme in the menaquinone biosynthesis pathway of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), MenD, is allosterically inhibited by 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA), the first redox-active metabolite in the...
