Identification of Potent Natural Resource Small Molecule Inhibitor to Control <i>Vibrio cholera</i> by Targeting Its Outer Membrane Protein U: An In Silico Approach

<i>Vibrio cholerae</i> causes the diarrheal disease cholera which affects millions of people globally. The outer membrane protein U (OmpU) is the outer membrane protein that is most prevalent in <i>V. cholerae</i> and has already been recognized as a critical component of pat...
