Present work is aimed to identify and understand the inhibiting nature of Pyrimidine class of compounds to Enoyl acyl carrier proteinreductase (Enoyl-ACP reductase), which is one of the main receptor proteins used in drug discovery for screening anti-leprosy agents. Series of Pyrimidine based compounds virtually designed using the Molecular mechanic technique. The designed molecules were docked using with crystal structure of Enoyl-ACP reductase (PDB ID : 2NTV) using Autodock molecular docking software. The method uses rigid-protein and flexible ligand-techniques to acquire maximum conformations of ligand molecules. The docking results were evaluated using the acquired binding energy values for each ligand-protein complex. Those molecules having higher negative binding energy values with higher hydrogen bonds are selected for further analysis. The selected molecules show better hyd.. Read More»
