3D structure of anti-tuberculosis target makes cover of Molecular Cell
For the first time, a team of researchers was able to elucidate the Cryo-EM full-length structure of Arabinofuranosyltransferase (AftD), an essential enzyme involved on the cell envelop assembly of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This enzyme is a target to develop novel antibiotics to fight the disease.
