Overview

Bacterial Enzymes as Targets for Drug Discovery: Meeting the Challenges of Antibiotic Resistance addresses the gap between medical microbiology, structural biology, and genomic science in the development of new antibacterial drug development. This book consolidates detailed profiling of bacterial target enzyme families for the drug discovery process and methodologies for use and validation of the potential drug targets. The content covers the foundations of antibiotic drug discovery process and focuses on bacterial enzymes as drug targets, building a bridge between microbiology, structural biology, and genomic science. This is the ideal reference for antibiotic drug discovery researchers in the pharma industry and academia. Biochemists, microbiologists, and medicinal chemists will also benefit from this books’ content.
