Structure of Ddn, the Deazaflavin-Dependent Nitroreductase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis Involved in Bioreductive Activation of PA-824

Tuberculosis continues to be a global health threat, making bicyclic nitroimidazoles an important new class of therapeutics. A deazaflavin-dependent nitroreductase (Ddn) from Mycobacterium tuberculosis catalyzes the reduction of nitroimidazoles such as PA-824, resulting in intracellular release of l...
