Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mt) is a leading cause of infectious disease in the world today. This outlook is aggravated by a growing number of Mt infections in individuals who are immunocompromised as a result of HIV infections. Thus, new and more potent anti-tuberculosis agents are necessary. Therefore, DNA gyrase was selected as a _target enzyme to combat Mt. In this work, the first three-dimensional molecular model of the hypothetical structures for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA gyrase (mtDNAg) was elucidated by a homology modeling method. In addition, the orientations and binding affinities of some gatifloxacin analogs with those new structures were investigated. Our findings could be helpful for the design of new more potent gatifloxacin analogs.
