“…PyRx 0.8, a suite integrated with Auto Dock Vina, was utilized for the molecular docking study. The specific target site for the receptor corresponding to the substrate-binding region was adjusted using the grid box with dimensions (18.08 × 26.45 × 26.30) Å, and the centre was attuned based on the site of substrate binding in the protein consisting of the following amino acids; Thr25, Thr26, His41, Cys44, Met49, Tyr54, Phe140, Leu141, Gly143, Cys145, Asn142, His163, His164, Met165, Ser144, Glu166, Pro168, His172, Val186, Asp187, Arg188, Gln189, Phe185, Thr190, and Gln192 (Dai et al 2020;Jin et al 2020;Umar et al 2021a). The compounds with docking score similar to that of the Seed molecule and control drug at the end of the experiment, were subjected to molecular interaction analysis with the aid of PyMOL© Molecular Graphics (version 2.4, 2016, Shrodinger LLC) and LigPlot + (Laskowski and Swindells 2011).…”
