Computational Structure Modeling, Functional Characterization, and Identification of Potential Inhibitors for the cyclic-di-GMP Mediated Biofilm Forming Membran... (opens in new tab)

Cholera, caused by Vibrio cholerae, continues to pose a serious global public health challenge, with its impact worsened by rising antibiotic resistance associated with bacterial biofilm formation. This study reveals the role of the hypothetical protein (HP) TYC33605.1 in cyclic-di-GMP (c-di-GMP)-mediated biofilm regulation and identifies natural inhibitors that disrupt this mechanism. Functional annotation revealed TYC33605.1 as a membrane-associated diguanylate cyclase (DGC) with GGDEF and ...
