Abstract
The oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) pathway has emerged as an attractive pathway for the development of anti-mycobacterial drugs. The OxPhos pathway is essential for ATP resynthesis and maintenance of the electrochemical transmembrane gradient. The bioenergetic parameters of the pathway such as oxygen consumption rate and ATP levels are quantifiable using current technology. Measuring these parameters are useful tools to gauge rapidly the impact of drug candidates on their capacity to inhibit the OxPhos pathway in Mycobacterium ulcerans.Entities:
