A Computational Investigation of the Mechanism of CB1954 Reduction by E.coli Nitroreductase

The flavoenzyme NTR (nitroreductase nfsB from Escherichia coli) and the prodrug CB1954 (5-[aziridin-1-yl]-2,4-dinitrobenzamide) have been found to be a good potential combination for virus-directed enzyme prodrug therapy (VDEPT). However, wild-type NTR has poor kinetics and binding with CB1954, and...
