Extended Abstract MurE
Extended Abstract MurE
Abstract
Currently, the Antibiotic resistance germs are increasing population and becoming more disseminated. In
order to prevent the development of germs reproduction, we have to look for the possibility of eliminating the cell to
prevent the development of drug-resistant ability. MurE protein catalyzes the attachment of meso-diaminopimelic
acid in gram negative bacteria which is composed of the peptidoglycan biosynthesis pathway. Peptidoglycan plays
a critical role in cells' viability, which is the target to annihilate the microbial. This research analyzes the possible
form of MurE in the free transformation condition to demonstrate the conformation of MurE protein, which impacts
the efficiency of antibiotics. A number of the experimental run were carried out in this research. Attempting to
investigate the monomer MurE experiment require EDTA and splitting the series of experiments into two sets. Set I
is an absence of EDTA buffer, set II is the presence of EDTA buffer. For analyzing size exclusion chromatography
(SEC), results of the absence of EDTA series show five peaks of MurE protein, and the presence of EDTA series
show two peaks. Implying the estimated molecular weight of each peak followed by the sodium dodecyl sulfate-
polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) test, which expresses MurE properties by considering result could
imply purity of MurE protein. By analyzing the accessible conformation condition in the solution of MurE protein
through the Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), The scattering data was utilized by The ATSAS package program
to analyze the characteristics of MurE protein. The SAXS data processed through the ATSAS program display the
characteristics of each peak of MurE protein from the Native- PAGE test. Considering MurE monomer, the result
display molecular weight is 64.9 kDa, the radius of gyration is 32.4 A, and D-max is 153.3 A.
