Funded Activity Summary

F420-Reductases from mycobacteria: new opportunities for health care and environmental protection. A new class of enzymes, derived from the bacteria responsible for drug resistant forms of tuberculosis and leprosy, will be studied at a molecular level. New antibiotics will be designed, based on the molecular structures of these proteins. The proteins themselves will be engineered to break down harmful environmental toxins.
