HMG CoA synthase Philip A. Miller
Kinetics - Difference in Rates with Mutation of Ala110Gly
Disease/Infection • Possibility of inhibitors for Mevalonate pathway would serve great as an antibacterial specific for pathogens • Such as Entherococcusfaecalis, Streptococcuspneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus • Common infections from trauma or surgical procedures • Specifically targets pathogenic bacterial, significantly more effective than commonly used broad-spectrum antibiotics
