Surface hydrophobics mediate functional dimerization of CYP121A1 of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

Abstract Tuberculosis is caused by the pathogenic bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) and remains the leading cause of death by infection world-wide. The Mtb genome encodes a disproportionate number of twenty cytochrome P450 enzymes, of which the essential enzyme cytochrome P450 121A1 (CYP121...
