Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIn Silico and in Vitro Studies: Tryparedoxin Peroxidase Inhibitor Activity of Methotrexate for Antileishmanial ActivityRavi Kumar Gundampati, Shraddha Sahu, Avinash Kumar Srivastava et al.In order to understand the mechanism of molecular interactions at the active site of Tryparedoxin Peroxidase (Try P), homology modeling and docking studies were performed. We generated a Three-Dimensional (3D) model of target protein based on the Crystal structure of Leishmania Major Try PI (PDB ID: 3TUE) using modeler software. Docking analysis was carried out to study the effects of … …American Journal of Infectious Diseases, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 28 Nov 2013 · 7,893 accessesView PDF Cite
