Anti-Methanogenic Effect of Phytochemicals on Methyl-Coenzyme M Reductase—Potential: In Silico and Molecular Docking Studies for Environmental Protection
Methane is a greenhouse gas which poses a great threat to life on earth as its emissions directly contribute to global warming and methane has a 28-fold higher warming potential over that of carbon dioxide. Ruminants have been identified as a major source of methane emission as a result of methanoge...

Methane is a greenhouse gas which poses a great threat to life on earth as its emissions directly contribute to global warming and methane has a 28-fold higher warming potential over that of carbon dioxide. Ruminants have been identified as a major source of methane emission as a result of methanogenesis by their respective gut microbiomes. Various plants produce highly bioactive compounds which can be investigated to find a potential inhibitor of methyl-coenzyme M reductase (the target protein for methanogenesis). To speed up the process and to limit the use of laboratory resources, the present study uses an in-silico molecular docking approach to explore the anti-methanogenic properties of phytochemicals from <i>Cymbopogon</i> <i>citratus</i>, <i>Origanum vulgare</i>, <i>Lavandula officinalis</i>, <i>Cinnamomum zeylanicum</i>, <i>Piper betle</i>, <i>Cuminum cyminum</i>, <i>Ocimum gratissimum</i>, <i>Salvia sclarea</i>, <i>Allium sativum</i>, <i>Rosmarinus officinalis</i> and <i>Thymus vulgaris</i>.
