Structural Dynamics Behind Clinical Mutants of PncA-Asp12Ala, Pro54Leu, and His57Pro of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Associated With Pyrazinamide Resistance

Structural Dynamics Behind Clinical Mutants of PncA-Asp12Ala, Pro54Leu, and His57Pro of Mycobacterium tuberculosis Associated With Pyrazinamide Resistance

Pyrazinamide (PZA) is one of the main FDA approved drugs to be used as the first line of defense against Mycobacterium Tuberculosis (MTB). It is activated into pyrazinoic acid (POA) via MTB's pncA gene-encoded pyrazinamidase (PZase). Mutations are most commonly responsible for PZA-resistance in...
