| Comments | This enzyme is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of mycothiol, a small molecular weight thiol found in?Mycobacteria?spp. and other actinomycetes. Mycothiol plays a fundamental role in these organisms by helping to provide protection from the effects of reactive oxygen species and electrophiles, including many antibiotics. The enzyme may represent a novel target for new classes of antituberculars [2]. |
