The Role of N-Acetyl Transferases on Isoniazid Resistance from Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Human: An In Silico Approach

BACKGROUND: N-acetyl transferase (NAT) inactivates the pro-drug isoniazid (INH) to N-acetyl INH through a process of acetylation, and confers low-level resistance to INH in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). Similar to NAT of MTB, NAT2 in humans performs the same function of acetylation. Rapid acetyl...
