摘要: Enzymes involved in the pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway have become an important target for pharmacological intervention. One among those enzymes, Aspartate Trans Carbamoylase (ATCase), catalyses condensation of aspartate and carbamoyl phosphate to form N-carbamoyl-l-aspartate inorganic phosphate. The present study provides molecular insights into enzyme ATCase. three-dimensional structure ATCase from Thermus thermophilus HB8 was modeled based on crystal Pyrococcus abyssi (PDB ID:1ML4). Molecular dynamics simulation performed identify conformational stability TtATCase with without its ligand complexes. Based pharmacokinetic properties glide-docking scores ligands four databases (Maybridge, Binding, Asinex Technology Organic Synthesis (TOS laboratory) screening ligands, we identified potential molecules TtATCase. From docking results, proposed that residues ...
