  • Method of identifying a FabK protein inhibitor using a three-dimensional structure of FabK protein
    Patent number: 7797112
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a FabK (enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase) protein derived from a Thermotoga maritima strain. In the present invention, the active site and the three-dimensional crystal structure of the protein are determined, a novel inhibitor against the FabK protein is screened and/or designed using the three-dimensional crystal structure thereof, and thereby developing a novel active compound, namely active-controlling material with excellent antibiotic activities against strains having a resistance to previous antibiotics.
    Type: Grant
