The influence of glycerol on the binding of methotrexate to Mycobacterium tuberculosis dihydrofolate reductase: a molecular modelling study

The enzyme, dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR), from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (mt-DHFR) is believed to be a potential drug target for the treatment of tuberculosis. The co-crystal structure of mt-DHFR bound with glycerol (GOL), NAPDH and methotrexate (MTX) reveals a GOL binding site on the enzyme. Thi...
