Integration of virtual screening and susceptibility test to discover active-site subpocket-specific biogenic inhibitors of Helicobacter pylori shikimate dehydrogenase.

International microbiology : the official journal of the Spanish Society for Microbiology
Shikimate dehydrogenase (HpSDH) (EC 1.1.1.25) is a key enzyme in the shikimate pathway of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), which catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reversible reduction of 3-dehydroshikimate to shikimate. Targeting HpSDH has been recognize...
