Development of a comprehensive platform for targeting redox homeostasis in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. KU Leuven
The prevalence of drug resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) calls for the legitimization of new and highly specific drug targets, focusing on unique pathways. The mycothiol ligase (MshC) and mycothione reductase (Mtr) are two components of the mycobacterial redox homeostasis that display the three key components of antibiotic drug targets; high druggability and the potential to show high specificity and essentiality for the ...
