Unveiling the Efficacy of Sesquiterpenes from Marine Sponge <i>Dactylospongia elegans</i> in Inhibiting Dihydrofolate Reductase Using Docking and Molecular Dynamic Studies

Dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) is a crucial enzyme that maintains the levels of 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate (THF) required for the biological synthesis of the building blocks of DNA, RNA, and proteins. Over-activation of DHFR results in the progression of multiple pathological conditions such as cancer...
