Structural analysis of the Babesia microti thioredoxin reductase

What is it about?

Timely exploration of new drug targets are necessary. This article describes computational exploration of an important drug target, thioredoxin reductase, in Babesia microti. Babesia causes Babesiosis in humans. Therefore, this article will cater vital information in characterizing the drug target protein and exploring the suitability of the very protein as a potential drug target along with possible inhibitor associated information. Thus, paving a way towards future discovery of potential relevant drug molecule for this specific disease.

Why is it important?

The considered protein do not have any crystal structure yet, therefore, lacks detail structural information along with their specific functional features. This computational analysis will provide ample information in this direction along with the detail analysis on the feasibility of this specific protein to be considered as a potential drug target for babesiosis.
