Tuberculosis results in 1.5M deaths/yr globally. Mycobacterium tuberculosis has a unique heme oxygenase MhuD, attractive drug target. Saint Louis University map out MhuD structure-function relationship to support drug development. MhuD produced from ATUM_bio genes sciencedirect.com/science/articl…!

Congrats to the Mak group on their recent publication! jbc.org/article/S0021-…

Here, Snyder and Mak employed resonance Raman #spectroscopy to examine several factors proposed to impact the reactivity of mono- and diheme MhuD, including heme ruffling, heme pocket hydrophobicity, and amino acid-heme interactions — Saint Louis University jbc.org/article/S0021-…
