Abstract

This study addressed multi-drug resistance in Mycobacterium leprae and proposed multi-targeted therapy by targeting four Mur ligase enzymes (MurC, MurD, MurE, MurF) in peptidoglycan biosynthesis. 3D structures were modeled and substrate/ATP docking predicted conserved residues important for catalytic activity. These residues serve as potential targets for designing new anti-leprosy drugs with higher efficacy. © Springer-Verlag 2011. © 2013 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
