Abstract:Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic systemic infectious disease
caused
by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). Methionine aminopeptidase 1 (MtMET-AP1)
is a hydrolase that mediates the necessary post-translational N-terminal methionine excision (NME) of peptides during
protein synthesis, which is necessary for bacterial proliferation
and is a potential target for the treatment of tuberculosis. Based
on the functional characteristics of MtMET-AP1, we developed an enzymatic
activated near-infrared fluorescent… Show more
