Targeting the Bacterial Epitranscriptome for Antibiotic Development: Discovery of Novel tRNA-(N1G37) Methyltransferase (TrmD) Inhibitors

Bacterial tRNA modification synthesis pathways are critical to cell survival under stress and thus represent ideal mechanism-based targets for antibiotic development. One such target is the tRNA-(N1G37) methyltransferase (TrmD), which is conserved and essential in many bacterial pathogens. Here we d...
