Structural Biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Structural Biology of Mycobacterium tuberculosis - a new route to anti-TB drugs?

Referent: Dr. Manfred S. Weiss, EMBL Hamburg Outstation, c/o DESY
Abstract:
Since the WHO has declared tuberculosis a global health emergency in 1993, the need for new drugs against the disease has become more and more apparent. In a large project, which involves many research groups around the whole world, a structure-based approach is used to identify and validate new lead compounds which may have the potential of being developed into new drugs. Particularly, the enzymes of the Leu- and Lys-biosynthetic pathways appear to be promising targets. Some of the recent structural results will be presented as well as first hints towards the identification of inhibotors.
