Identification of Novel Inhibitors of Type-I Mycobacterium Tuberculosis Fatty Acid Synthase Using Docking-Based Virtual Screening and Molecular Dynamics Simulation

Mycobacterial fatty acid synthase type-I (FAS-I) has an important role in the de novo synthesis of fatty acids, which constitute a major component of the cell wall. The essentiality of FAS-I in the survival and growth of mycobacterium makes it an attractive drug target. However, targeted inhibitors...
