A comprehensive computational study to explore promising natural bioactive compounds targeting glycosyltransferase MurG in Escherichia coli for potential drug development

Abstract Peptidoglycan is a carbohydrate with a cross-linked structure that protects the cytoplasmic membrane of bacterial cells from damage. The mechanism of peptidoglycan biosynthesis involves the main synthesizing enzyme glycosyltransferase MurG, which is known as a potential target for antibioti...
