Identification of potential inhibitors for mycobacterial uridine diphosphogalactofuranose-galactopyranose mutase enzyme: A novel drug target through in silico approach

Background: The Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) uridine diphosphogalactofuranose (UDP)-galactopyranose mutase (UGM) is an essential flavoenzyme for mycobacterial viability and an important component of cell wall. It catalyzes the interconversion of UDP-galactopyranose into UDP-galactofuranose, a ke...
