Targeting Methyltransferases in Human Pathogenic Bacteria: Insights into Thymidylate Synthase (TS) and Flavin-Dependent TS (FDTS)

In cells, thymidylate synthases provide the only <i>de novo</i> source of 2&#8242;-deoxythymidine-5&#8242;-monophosphate (dTMP), required for DNA synthesis. The activity of these enzymes is pivotal for cell survival and proliferation. Two main families of thymidylate synthases ha...
