This page is for Bryant Dawson and Kate Burke hehehe Overview Mycobacterium tuberculosis NrdH is a small glutaredoxin-like protein involved in the electron transport chain that eventually leads to ribonucleotide reduction. Background Mycobacterium tuberculosis resides in the lungs of a host and upon becoming active, results in symptoms such as chest pains, weakness, and intense coughing. Left untreated and unmanaged, TB can lead to death (1.5 million in 2013). The disease has a high co-morbidity with HIV/AIDS due to its immunocompromising tendencies. Tuberculosis is one of the most heavily studied diseases today. With over 9 million infections worldwide per year, the necessity for antimicrobial agents to combat emerging multi-drug resistant strands is imperative. Structure The structure of M. tuberculosis as determined by x-ray crystallography has 79 residues in a single polypeptide chain Structural highlights This is a sample scene created with SAT to color by Group, and another to make a transparent representation of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
