Abstract

Mycobacterium tuberculosis adenosine-5′-phosphosulfate (APS) reductase is an iron− sulfur protein and a validated target to develop new antitubercular agents, particularly for the treatment of latent infection. To facilitate the development of potent and specific inhibitors of APS reductase, we have probed the molecular determinants that underlie binding and specificity through a series of substrate and product analogues. Our study highlights the ...
