Abstract excerpt
Delamanid and Pretomanid are nitro-dihydro-imidazooxazole derivatives essential for the treatment of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). The emergence of tuberculosis resistance to Delamanid necessitates understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance. This study focuses on the structural analysis of the fgd1 protein in both wild-type and mutant forms to explain the molecular basis of...
