MbtI Inhibition studies aid in the future design of anti-tubercular agents and broad-spectrum antibiotics. Mimics of the enzyme-bound intermediate of MbtI, isochorismate, prove to be significantly more potent inhibitors than the substrate, chorismate mimics | MbtI Inhibition studies aid in the future design of anti-tubercular agents and broad-spectrum antibiotics.
