Abstract

The 3D structure of MurE enzyme from Mycobacterium leprae was modeled based on E. coli MurE structure. Docking with substrates (meso-diaminopimelic acid and UDP-N-acetyl muramoyl-glycyl-D-glutamate) and ATP revealed binding residues and acylphosphate intermediate formation. This model provides insights for designing selective MurE inhibitors for leprosy treatment. © 2011 Springer-Verlag. © 2012 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
