Understanding Rifampicin Resistance in Tuberculosis through a Computational Approach by Satish Kumar, Lingaraja Jena

“…In this study, we modeled two resistant mutants of rpoB (S450L and H445Y) using Modeller9v10 and performed a docking analysis with RIF using AutoDock4.2 and compared the docking results of these mutants with the wild-type rpoB. The docking results revealed that RIF more effectively inhibited the wild-type rpoB with low binding energy than rpoB mutants. …”
