Analysis of Mycobacterium leprae genome: in silico searching for drug targets.
نویسنده
چکیده
The author performed a database search to find the recorded complete genes with complete sequences of Mycobacterium leprae and studied their homology to human genomes by BLAST method. From a total of 35 genes, the potential candidates for further target-based drug development were identified.

Leprosy is an infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium leprae. M. leprae has undergone a major reductive evolution leaving a minimal set of functional genes for survival. It remains non-cultivable. As M. leprae develops resistance against most of the drugs, novel drug targets are required in order to design new drugs. As most of the essential genes mediate several biosynthetic and metabolic p...

To better understand the biology and the virulence determinants of the two major mycobacterial human pathogens Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycobacterium leprae, their genome sequences have been determined recently. In silico comparisons revealed that among the 1439 genes common to both M. tuberculosis and M. leprae, 219 genes code for proteins that show no similarity with proteins from other...
