Structural and Functional Dynamics of Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Proteins: Insights Into Pathogenic Mechanisms

Bys: Farnia, Parissa, Velayati, Ali Akbar, Farnia, Poopak

Structural and Functional Dynamics of Nontuberculous Mycobacterium Proteins: Insights into Pathogenic Mechanisms explores the structural and functional dynamics of nontuberculous mycobacterium (NTM) proteins, focusing on their roles in pathogenicity, the mechanisms underlying microbial infections, and the potential for developing targeted therapeutic strategies to combat these emerging pathogens. The book begins with a foundational overview of nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), distinguishing them from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, their epidemiology, clinical significance, and structural biology. It discusses key structural features of NTM proteins and advanced techniques for protein structure determination, proteomic analyses, and bioinformatics approaches.

Additional sections investigate the pathogenic mechanisms and the complexities of the host-pathogen interaction. Concluding with insights into emerging research, interdisciplinary collaboration, future treatment, and prevention strategies, this book is a helpful resource for researchers and healthcare professionals engaged in the study of infectious diseases.
