Analysis of Burkholderia pseudomallei IspF in complex with sulfapyridine, sulfamonomethoxine, ethoxzolamide and acetazolamide

The co-crystal structures of five sulfonamide ligands bound to the active site of the IspF enzyme from B. psuedomallei are reported. The ligands include the drugs ethoxzolamide, acetazolamide, sulfapyridine and sulfamonomethoxine.
