The paper describes challenges in crystallizing OmamC129-261 and how heat treatment improved crystal quality and diffraction.

This study characterizes the structural and enzymatic properties of FadD5, a fatty acyl-CoA synthetase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis, showing its preference for long-chain fatty acids and the importance of its C-terminal domain for activity.

This study characterizes the structure and interactions of M. tuberculosis Mam1A-1D proteins using X-ray and neutron scattering, revealing their tetrameric structure and disulfide bridges, and their interaction with LucA.

This study compares transcriptomic responses of wild type and mkl-deleted M. tuberculosis strains to cholesterol and mycolic acid, revealing differential gene expression patterns and insights into adaptation strategies.
