Improving inhibition: tRNA-Guanine transglycosylase (TGT) is a newly recognized target to reduce the pathogenicity of disease-causing Shigella bacteria. A potent family of inhibitors of this enzyme has been developed by structure-based design. Crystallographic data and pKa, analysis suggest that the aminoimidazole moiety of the central lin-benzoguanine scaffold is protonated and stabilization of the complexes results from charge-assisted hydrogen bonding.
