Insight to the molecular mechanisms of the osmolyte effects on Mycobacterium tuberculosis pyrazinamidase stability using experimental studies, molecular dynamics simulations, and free energy calculation

Background: In this study, we have experimentally investigated the effects of different osmolytes including sucrose, sorbitol, urea, and guanidinium chloride (GdmCl) on the stability and structure of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis pyrazinamidase (PZase). PZase converts pyrazinamide to its active for...
