| Abstract | Menaquinone is a lipid-soluble naphthoquinone that is essential for various pivotal functions of bacteria. Naphthoquinone is synthesized from chorismate of the shikimate pathway in microorganisms. Due to its absence in humans and animals, menaquinone biosynthesis has been an attractive target for development of antibiotics against a number of important microbial pathogens, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). In shikimate pathway, O-succinylbenzoate synthase (OSBS) plays a major role and is one of the major potential drug targets. For Mtb-OSBS, a systematic study was conducted to get an insight about Mtb-OSBS enzyme and the corresponding inhibitors using in silico methods. The 3-D model of Mtb-OSBS was built using structure coordinates of Thermobifida fusca. O-succinylbenzoate synthase, the model, was further refined. The active site amino acids have been identified by comparing the template sequence with the Mtb-OSBS sequence. We identified that Lys$^{108}$, Asn$^{140}$, Asp$^{138}$, Lys$^{110}$, Glu$^{189}$, Ser$^{236}$, Asp$^{188}$, Arg$^{27}$, Tyr$^{52}$, and Ser$^{237}$ are highly conserved, and these may play a vital role as active residues, similar to that in template protein. As per the competitive binding of substrate (2-succinyl-6-hydroxy-2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylate (SHCHC)), we screened the SHCHC through AutoDock 4.0. The SHCHC molecule was further modified structurally and optimized through PRODRG server. Docking of the 12 lead molecules for best interactions with Mtb-OSBS has given an insight that all the lead molecules have shown interactions with active site amino acids of Mtb-OSBS. MD simulation analysis report has shown the stable conformation annotations of Mtb-OSBS. These hypothetical studies create another way to develop more potential drugs against the deadly mycobacterium. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
